I live in a metropolitan area that has many amenities, restaurants, and stores within walking distance. In fact, before this injury, I rarely used my car. I have so longed to take my normal paths, but that requires being able to walk.
Today, it was time to upgrade my cellphone and I noticed that there was a store in the shopping plaza that I live two blocks from. With my successful adventure to the Chinese restaurant yesterday, I wanted to see if I could make it.
I had to take several breaks along the way, and deal with everyone staring at me, but I made it! Not only did I upgrade my phone, I also got some take-out from one of my favorite restaurants that I have had to live without since my surgery because they don't deliver.
Sure, my foot was sore, and I had to do some serious icing and elevating when I got back, but I call today a success!
Ever seen a flatter foot? This was the beginning of my PTTD surgery journey...
