Long road ahead

Earlier this week I finally got the ok from the Doc to ditch the boot (slowly at first) and get into two shoes….so of course I ran (limped) home and forced my slightly swollen foot into my shoe ….. it actually felt great….I’ve been walking slowly and cautiously while at home but still wearing the boot on the way to and from work (subway rides in Boston can be dangerous without a ruptured achilles). 

The doc also started me on PT….. finally…had my first session today and although my leg is tiny and now exhausted, it feels so good to start using it again.  Best of all, the Doc said I don’t have to see him again, i’m in the hands of PT now. 

I travel a lot with my job so i’ll be doing a lot of home exercises while on the road…but still…the light at the end of the tunnel just got a little brighter!  Anyone else have suggestions on exercises to do while on the road?

Good luck to everyone out there, keep up the good work.
