Back from the doctor.................

Got the OK from the doctor to wear normal shoes. The surgical site is healed beautifully. It is the rest of the foot that is swollen. Could be from the "cast disease". She recommended wearing an elastic pull on ankle support to help keep the swelling down. I can go back to activities slowly...in other words listen to my body. I won't need physical therapy...she feels the flexibility is good. It is no where near the other foot, but good for most people.


I got a call to sub a sculpting class, but I said no. I am not ready for that yet. I may not teach until after the second foot it healed.


Things are looking up.

Glad the site is healing so well, but you're very wise to listen to your body.
