Last night I did my ankle mobilisation exercises and was really pleased that they were no longer painful. Peter asked if I could stand on my foot so I gave it a tentative go and found that I could. Then I decided to take a few tentative steps and found they were in the main, pain free. I put my crutches down and started walking using small, slow steps. It was so liberating.
The swelling is almost gone and once my bandage comes off on Monday, I think my foot will look ok. It feels ok and that's great. My biggest challenges today will be getting up the stairs which I'm determined to try and then not overdoing it. That is balancing out getting some stuff done but still having enough time off my feet so I don't set myself back.
I now know without a doubt that as the surgeon said, I'll be running again at the 4 week mark. But right now it's just so good to be crutchesless even if I'm painfully slow and have absolutely no agility.
Life is good.

Hello! I realize this is kind of off-topic however I had to ask.
ReplyDeleteDoes running a well-established website such as yours take a large amount
of work? I'm completely new to running a blog however I do write in my diary everyday. I'd like to start a blog so I can easily share my own experience and thoughts online.
Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips
for brand new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
