Today I got my walking boot! The doctor said I can put full weight on it. I can remove the boot for showering, sleeping, getting in the pool, etc. I will wear the boot for 3 to 4 weeks. Then I will be able to switch to tennis shoes.
It hurt to put weight on it at first, but felt a little better after the first few tries. The top of my foot is somewhat numb, but I was told that is normal. I will need to do a few exercises moving my foot up and down. That's it for now.
My incision is not completely healed, but the doctor said that is okay too. I just need to keep a little antibiotic ointment and bandaids on it.
Things are progressing as they should, and I am so pleased to be able to start walking!
