I've been given DAS BOOT for the next 12 weeks. I'm completely non-weight-bearing until December, but the boot lets me shower with my leg completely uncovered, AND move my ankle every night as an exercise! I'm in high spirits today, the feeling of water on my leg AND of my ankle moving is incredible. Of course, I've only got maybe 15 degrees of motion in my ankle, but stretching and strength exercises will improve that. I'll probably be reporting my progress to Pubski, since I'm pretty well chuffed about it :) I also came back to work this week! I'm less enthused about that, but it's still good news. Truth be told, I was getting bored of sitting at home all day. I'd rather be hiking again, but it's nice to have something productive to do.
