Walking again!

A week and a half ago, Sarah had another appointment for her foot. We were expecting that the doc would say that she could once again put light weight on the foot, but never thought that he wold say "go as hard as you can take the pain".

She walked out without a wheeled cart or crutch. The pain was pretty significant as first, but is getting better. Using the walking boot helps, but he wants her out of that in a couple weeks.

She says that it isn't the bone that hurts, but the rest of the foot, especially the bottom. I think it may be like when I haven't skated in a while. Those stability muscles have atrophied and need time to build their strength back up. Of course, skating and not walking for 3 months are very different things.

She gone farther each day and now spends much of her time out of the boot. A few days ago, we walked down to Fountain Square and back which is about 10 blocks.

All signs are pointing towards a quicker recovery from this point on. Last Suday we even went on a bike ride again. Dancing, running or other impact activity is still months away, but having mobility again must be awesome.
