first time out in 2 shoes…. back to work this week!
Posted on April 15th, 2014 by tkdco
Well it’s been 7 weeks since surgery, and I’ve been walking around my house barefoot and in my work boots to get used to them again . Today I decided to wear my work boots out for a short trip to the store. The boots are tactical boots and come up 8″ on my leg. I was a bit hesitant but I figured I had to do it sooner or later. I did keep a compression ankle wrap on also. I still have a limp but I made it around the store and back home safely. I was a bit sore…but some ice and my bfst treatment and its all good now. I return to work this Thursday with the walking boot on. I’ll probably wear it for a day or 2 before going back to two boots…. wish me luck!

Congratulations! I think I would have gone stir crazy if I had to sit home for 7 weeks.
Happy Healing!
Good luck with your walking! But still, keep us posted on your further progress — ROM, pain, swelling, etc
I’m scheduled to go back to work after about 8 weeks. Doctor. Is keeping me in boots. Hopefully I’ll be strong enough. You given me hope.
