Hard Work Pays Off
Today I had my first PT appointment since being able to put weight on my foot. Six weeks and three days after breaking my ankle, I’m cleared to walk without crutches.
Things aren’t perfect–I’m still rolling a bit to the outside of my foot when I’m tired, and I have a lot of strength to regain, but I am doing really well–in fact, Corrie (the PT) was shocked at how well I was doing.
So yeah, I still have swelling, and yeah I still have aching, but those can be easily treated and getting back to normal is probably the best way to put that behind me.
So, yay me!

She’s walkin, yes indeed
and we’re hearing the sound of “squee!”
Now she’s hopin’ that soon she’ll be pain free, yeah yeah
She’s happy as she can be,
And soon she’ll have company
She’s hopin’ that she’ll keep up with we.
Whatcha gonna do when vacation comes
you gonna behave, go slow?
We gonna be there right by your side
and if you walk funny we’ll let it slide.
She’s walkin, yes indeed
and we’re hearing the sound of “squee!”
Now she’s hopin’ that soon she’ll be pain free.
NOTE: Extra points if you figure out what song I’m parodying. What are the points good for? You’ll see – assuming, of course, your figure it out. And please, no hints from the audience. :-)

Need to find shoes that support the ankle. It’s a pain, but there are some out there that actually do work, and some that look like they should, but don’t (I was advised by my orthopedic surgeon to get them).

Vince, I have no idea. Thanks to Natalie, I can’t get “I Feel the Earth Move” out of my brain.
Steve, how can you have forgotten already that I have a fabulous new pair of Dr. Marten’s?!

Vince, “I’m Walkin”! “I’m walkin’, yes indeed, I’m talkin’, bout you and me” – and thanks, now that’s stuck in my head. :)
And yay Michelle! Happy news – but don’t try the happy dance yet!
