The cane is my friend these days when I
go out...but when I'm inside, and have my boot on, I'm walking around
the house without it...and there is little to no pain in my ankle while making my way around the house...probably because it's short distances. However, my lower back or hip will start to ache
before my ankles do. My overall strength and balance is getting
better and I'm able to move more quickly. My foot
doesn't swell as quickly and I haven't iced it, outside of therapy,
for about a month.
I've tried to do more stuff around the
house...wiping up counter tops, loading up the dishwasher, and
overall tidying. With some modifications (like doing the prep work
sitting down), I even managed to cook dinner the other night (read
about my chicken soup without chicken post here). Although I can do more, most of the housework and cooking is still being handled by my family.
This Friday I make my way into Washington DC to see my surgeon and get my boot
off. I'll keep everyone posted on how my 3 month check up goes!
