On May 5th, exactly two months after the fall that broke my ankle, I stood on both my feet, with the weight distributed equally between them. This was a Big Deal!
I can't put any more weight than that on the right foot, but it is progress. The cast came off on May 3rd, which was a Very Welcome event. I have a walking boot now, which is something like a ski book that goes up to my knee. I can take it off at night, and whenever I am sitting for a while. I do stretches and circles with the ankle, which currently has very limited motion. It is slowly improving, though, which I guess is the best I can hope for.
I am home now, but I still have more things to post about the cruise. And, since I now don't have to pay for Internet by the minute, I can upload more photos. So stay tuned to this spot!
I seem to be in a mood to use Capital Letters and exclamation marks!

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're a bit more mobile. My sister smashed her ankle many years ago. Surgeries, crutches - the works! It did take time for her to get the range of motion she had but it did come back. And she has a great predicter of weather now! ha! ha! Take care!
