Weight Bearing

My therapist called the doctor's office to find out if I could put weight on my foot. I was given the okay during therapy. Around the house I can wear a stiff soled shoe just a little bit. I can't walk through so the foot needs to stay flat. She said that would give me a lot more things to do in therapy now that I can stand on that leg. For starters, I can now start to stretch out my calf which is all flabby from 8 weeks in the cast.

Tonight I put on one of my sneakers that has a more stiff sole. I expected the shoe to fit tight, but it was tighter than I thought it would be. I'm feeling so sorry for my dogs, so I strapped on their leashes and walked them to the end of the driveway. My idea was to get to the pavement on the street where the walking would be easier. I decided after the 100 yard walk down the driveway, I probably shouldn't push it too far, so I came back to the house.

More pictures of the foot to show progress.

Space between the toes and weight bearing!
