Sleeping without the boot :)
I was given permission on weds. to take my boot off to sleep!!! I was so happy, as the boot was bruising my other leg while sleeping at night. I don’t think I am sleeping any better yet…because I wake up afraid that I am turning it wrong or something 
Hopefully, this weekend I can rest a little easier and try and catch up on some sleep. Next week at PT I get measured to see if I can actively get into neutral or 0 degrees of dorsiflexion, and if I can then my Dr. will let me become FWB without the crutches 
I am doing my ROM exercises from PT 2x a day to get that ankle into neutral by next weds. I HATE THESE CRUTCHES!!!!!! 7 weeks of them is long enough!!!!

I’m hoping in 3 weeks time to take mine off to sleep. Reckon I will be really scared though. It’s 37 here today (100 fahrenheit I think) so the boot is getting pretty warm. Enjoy your nightly freedom, be careful! xx
