5 sleeps to go in sexy boot (I hope!)
Is everyone counting the days til their next appointments!? Time is definitely relative to where you are at at the time. Looking back it feels like the last 7 weeks have gone quite quick but at the time it was all feeling very slow! Anyway I have my next appointment on Friday when I am really hoping that I will be able to say bye bye to the boot and be able to drive again (and walk of course! - will save the running marathons for much later). Have reached the stage where I do not know where my crutches are and probably should think about getting them back to the chemist but I think I will wait until after Friday. Am finding my “bad” leg is absolutely fine, I just get a bit of tingling after I have possibly over done it a bit. However my “good” leg is feeling the strain a bit now, the tendon on that leg and the knee are feeling a bit strained. Probably got quite bit to do with the height difference between the legs with the boot on.

Hi rainbow,
Have you been doing many of the strengthening exercises yet? I found I needed about a week of walking around in 2-shoes before I felt confident I was safe to drive (manual car - an auto would be fine if you left-foot brake).
Regards,
Dylan
