Week 12

As you can probably tell from my long absence of posting anything that I've been progressing pretty well. I've been walking without any serious issues and now starting to run or light job a little bit. The foot is still swollen but has been exponentially better. Ive also been wearing crocs with a open heel so that I can walk without the swelling bothering me too much. The crocs also give me a lot of support so that I don't step into my ball of my foot too much. Before the crocs I was splitting time between flip flops and the post op shoe. The crocs were definitely a better option. I stopped the icing for about a couple weeks. I maybe ice it once a week when I push it too far. Last week, I tried it out hiking and walking through a rocky watering hole and it was not too bad. It was putting a lot of intense pressure on the ball of my foot and it hurt for a couple days but its definitely not too bad. I'm hoping to try to increase my running this week. Hopefully I can be close to 100% in another couple weeks.
