out of splint, into boot. using scooter mainly but also crutches to get around. Already traveled on airplane, was not to bad except hard to actually enter the plane. PT starts today. My calf muscle is already starting atrophy. No pain. Taking shower with the “seat”. Still elevating at night…

Congrats on getting into the boot! I had lost all of my muscle in my calf during my initial weeks, but now that I’m in PT and walking full time it is coming back. If you add the widget to your page, it will be easier for us to see where you are in your progress but from the header it sounds like you’re still very much in the first month. Continued success on your progress as you move forward.
Thanks for you comments! Now 45 day post surgery, swimming, and without boot doing stationery bike 20 min /day and 20 min/day anti-gravity tread mill. Walking with boot but should move into sneaker in a few weeks.
