Take back Control by #decidingyoumatter

This past Monday marked my 6th week of NO weight bearing on my right foot. On that day I took an x ray and had an exam. I was approved to walk ... with the boot and was ordered 4 weeks of physical therapy. I also picked up a cane since using the scooter, crutches, or armless crutch no longer made sense. I confirmed with the doc that I can walk, drive, ride, etc. She said yes. Two days later I went to drill. I drive 250 miles and walked 9756 steps on Thursday without issues. On Friday I walked 6405 steps and Saturday 6687 steps. Today I drove another 250 miles and walked 6700 steps. I had some additional swelling but thats it.

Finally, I just walked with NO boot and NO cane to try it out... it seems my four day of extreme physical therapy helped. I have goals of normal walking by the end of the week. It may be slow but it will be. I will aim at a minimum of 6000 steps a day. I will elevate and care of my foot. I want to ride a bike by Wednesday... that will be with the boot.
