It walks
June 10, 2009 | |
Alright folks, just got back from my six week follow-up with my surgeon. I am allowed to walk around town with EITHER the boot OR the crutches, but I no longer need both. At home/in the office, I can walk without either. My doc said that the crutches just tell people to give you a wider berth while walking around town, so they’re a good precaution, and he urged me to use the boot less frequently as walking without it will help me build strength faster. I have my first appointment with my PT tomorrow night after work, and I’m hopeful that I can start getting some flexibility back, as right now, my foot can’t really get much past 90 deg. Maybe 5 deg. if that. Anyway, thanks to everyone on this site for the support. There’s still a long way to go. My doc said we’re still looking at Labor Day for my first day back on the court, so any NYC squash players out there want to play? In all honesty, I’ll probably just stick to running or cycling for awhile before I jump back on the court. Any serious squash players out there have any tips for rehabbing your game after you rehabbed your achilles?
