Saw the doctor today because I didn’t like the look of my scar. He said the scar does look a bit redder than he would like it to, but it is not infected. Just some irritation from where the boot is touching it. I cannot stand the boot anymore, I am really and truly sick of it… So I mentioned it to the doc and he had some mercy on me! I got a break — he gave me an ankle brace for the night only. I don’t have to sleep with that awful anchor anymore. Oh joy! How little do I need these days to feel happy!
I also scheduled my future PT visits, so as soon as I get my OS’ prescription/referral, I would not have to wait for the next available appointment, I am all set.
Oh, and I went back to work this week. It feels terrible. I was not swollen at all before, but once I started at my desk, my ankle is getting big and painful by the end of the day. Good thing I have a handicapped parking permit now, so it takes me only a few seconds to jump to my car, zip home, and put my leg on ice and All the way up.
I am dropping another wedge this weekend. We’ll see how it goes…
And I do exercise pretty hard at home, mostly upper body, free weights, crunches, push ups using both feet, etc. Plus, my unofficial PT — Theraband AT stretches, alphabet spelling, bumpy ball rolling. Very disappointed with my non-existent calf, but there is not much I can do about it right now. I am literally all itching to get back to my regular exercise routine!!!
