Week 13 and gaining strength
Last Wednesday I shed my boot for last time…
Although when I work out with weights I put it on. Just until I gain more strength in my injured leg.
I have been to PT 3 times so far. I have made some significant progress in short time. My biggest issue is the limp that you all talk about. I try to consentrate on walking correctly. But its not quite there yet.
Also I am having a hard time walking down stairs correctly. I have to do the one foot at a time method. During PT we noticed how bad that was. So that is where we are going to focus.
I still also get swelling toward the end of the day as expected. But I notice I can stand a lot longer period of time. I even worked in the yard last weekend and was up on my feet for a couple hours.
I did notice my heal feels the pain after all that.
I am wearing only sneakers (Nike cross trainers) at this time. Shoes do not fit with swelling. Also still using the wedges in both sneakers.
So that is where I am at. My goal is to get out golfing within next couple weeks. And maybe take the bike out for a long ride…..
One step at a time….
