I felt adventurous today and was looking for an excuse to get some walking in. I needed to return some dvds that I rented last night, so I decided to walk the ~3 blocks to the grocery store. I used my walker to help me get there, and I needed it, BIG TIME, especially on the way back. Walking there took quite a while, >20 mins (normally a 5 min walk for me). By the time I got there, my heel started bothering me. I returned my movies and got a sub sandwich. I then made the trek back to my apartment.
Had I tried this adventure without an assistive device, I wouldn't have made it. Walking on hard ground is still really hard for me at this point.
I am not sure when I will try this challenge again, but one day I'll be able to walk to the grocery store without an assistive device. I can't wait for that day.
Ever seen a flatter foot? This was the beginning of my PTTD surgery journey...
