Today, I ventured off to school with my ankle brace and tennis shoe, and 1 crutch. My therapist doesn't think I really need the crutch, but he said that it was wise to bring it as a sign for other people to give me some space. Tripping and falling is not something I can afford with my baby ankle.
I had a lot going on at school, and surprisingly being without the boot made things a lot easier. I didn't really realize how heavy and bulky it was until I was without it.
The good news is that with the brace and the shoe, I don't have the severe swelling issues I had in the boot .
Yesterday, I had to take extra strength acetaminophen, because walking in the shoe has brought my old friend, pain, back into my life. Today was no different.
Ever seen a flatter foot? This was the beginning of my PTTD surgery journey...
