It amazes me that I was so looking forward to returning to work only to find that it was NOT that easy to slip right in. First of all I have to limp-hobble to my car in the garage, then drive to work which has been a relief, but once in the work-garage, I take off my sneaker, strap back on the boot, “walk” to my office and put in 8 or sometimes 24 hours, and reverse the above to get back home. The first week was really harder than I initially thought it would be. It was REALLY BUSY! By the end of the day, the leg has been edematous and quite a bit sore. Still, I am happy (I guess) to be back at work as everyday there is a new challenge. My itinerary for recovery (per my doc) is that I have about 14 more days left of the cam boot and then not only can I start PT but I can wear two shoes (injured one with lifts). Time is moving on.
P.S. The wife is happy at her new-found freedom. Just heard that one of my co-workers did the same thing playing basketball, so I will contact him and invite him to our blog.
