Not so Wild Dog

It has been quite awhile since I have posted.  Since then I have gotten out of the cast and into the boot.  That didn’t go well at the beginning, as there was quite a bit of pain involved with going weight bearing in the boot and the boot itself seemed to hurt more than the actual scar, but  doing much better now.  I have been having PT twice a week.   Right now my therapy is just walking back and forth in the pool and some stretching in the pool as well.   Amazing how the simple fact of walking can feel so good!   I keep trying to push the therapists to let me do more but the doctor is really strict, and very conservative.  And it does seem like everything I do, besides the pool therapy, makes my ankle swell up.   The therapists are all amazed out how good the scar looks.  You can barely even tell I had surgery!  I am just 3 degrees away from getting to do land therapy and get into shoes.  They did tell me that when I go into shoes I will have to go back onto crutches for a week or so.  thanks to everyone who has been posting.  I have shared our blogsite with my therapists and they are all following us as well (and picking up some good pointers along the way).
