Boot issues :(
So found out they had my cam boot locked in 30 degrees of plantar flexion but had the dorsiflexion in 0 degrees….meaning I was putting my heel down too much for a week!! Luckily, I tried not to put my heel down too much even though I felt like I could. Told the therapist this and she looked at the boot and fixed it. Now, I feel much more stable PWBing. It feels more like when I was casted. The good news was I did get more movement in a week….I can now actively get to -15 degrees of dorsiflexion. My Dr. wants me at 0 or neutral in 3 weeks at my next appointment. I feel like I am making progress, but it is slow
I just can’t wait to get rid of these crutches!!!!!!!!

IT a good feeling (the feeling of makinf progress). I finally get to go PWB in a week at my first few PT appointments. I’m just excited I can start doing something different. Glad you got your boot issues fixed and happy healing.
