Got the cast off!!! Woohoo!!! I've lost two pounds this week just because I could get up and walk around. So, it has taken me 7 weeks to lose 3.4 pounds, but 6 of those weeks I couldn't walk. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!!
It was wonderful to take a shower. I am in a boot now so I can take it off and I used the shower stool to keep my foot up. It was a wonderful shower! And I scraped tons of dead skin off my foot. Icky!! So, I'm sure I'll be dealing with some swelling and a little discomfort (I was warned that I would - and I know I will end up pushing myself harder than I should!), but it is worth it to be mobile again! I so appreciate being able to walk. Life is much easier when you can walk.
I need to get back to the gym. I am allowed to be in a pool immediately. May have to get up there tomorrow and start in. I start physical therapy in two weeks. Then back to the ortho doctor in 5 weeks. During PT I will transition into a brace. That will actually fit into a shoe. So, in 3-4 weeks, I'll be able to wear two shoes, again!! WOOHOO!!!
