Called two therapists and one does water therapy. I'm waiting to hear from the second and then I'll decide. Might need to call the doctor to see if water therapy is ok.
Foot is very sore still and doc gave me a gel pad for my heal to help with comfort. It helps a little. Spent Saturday before Easter in Annapolis and my foot was swollen, red and very sore that night. I needed my gel pack and pain meds. The next few days it seemed very red to me and I wondered about another infection. However, the past few days it's felt pretty good. So good that I am walking mostly without my crutches.
The weather is finally cooperating, so today I went down the deck stairs without crutches. Walked around the yard a bit and sat on the swing, reading and watching Bob do yard work. Someone has to supervise, right? The sun feels wonderful and is good for my mental health. I sooooooo want this over it brings me down at times.
Another three weeks in the boot and then I'll be buying new shoes. I'll wait to see what the therapist recommends, but have a few cushy ones picked out at different sites.
Keep saying those Hail Mary's they are helping and I still have a ways to go.
