Nothing too interesting this week. My foot has been on the same pace of swelling and discomfort level. I've still been walking without crutches in the boot up until last Friday. Every time I tried walking barefoot there was some pain. On Friday, (coincidentally after seeing the doc for my final appointment) I've been feeling a lot better. I was able to walk a few steps barefoot with just a little pain. Dr Cade gave me a post op shoe that looks like a sandal with a hard inflexible sole that gives me a lot more movement. I can almost walk without a limp but can't do it for more than a few hours without it swelling. For instance, I was in a wedding where I had to stay on my feet for half a day and it didn't feel too bad, but I was definitely really sore the next day. I ended up going back to the boot for the wedding day. Another interesting thing is that my ankle seems to be very weak. When I step down the stairs, my ankle on the bad foot
All in all I seem to be heading in the right direction.
Next goal is to be able to go barefoot.
Below is a recent pic of my foot.
