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.

Holy hell that's a lot of hardware! Best of luck to your recovery

One piece of advice-I would take the photo down and repost it without the top left corner. Hubski is a friendly place but the internet certainly isn't. Any type of personal information can and will be abused.

Wow, fantastic call there. I can't believe I forgot to sanitize that, thank you for pointing it out! I've updated it :)

Damn, I missed it! Was it your credit card information?

It was my full name, and enough to freak me out! It’s pretty recognizable. Not out of any hidden fame or anything, it’s just intensely whimsical :)
