Just thought I'd quickly update on what its like without the hardware in my foot.

I've only been back in a shoe for 2 days, but instantly it feels a lot nicer than walking around whilst the hardware was still in my foot. I am able to walk much more casually without limping and there is no awkwardness or slight pain in my foot.

I am hoping this isn't just a mental thing I have created in my own head because I feel that I can focus less on it now, but at this point its...

Hey everyone who's read my blog. So it has been 6 months since I had my Lisfranc injury and this past thursday I have finally had the hardware removed from my right foot.




It was mildly painful when I woke from the anaesthetic however it was nothing like the first surgery. I actually felt great when I awoke, 2 hours after the surgery I was out...

Granted this is against doctors orders but I felt okay...after a few days I was basically walking in the boot. My most...

So this week marks 6 weeks since my cast was removed and I have a check up at the end of this week. I believe they are going to book in when my screws will be removed very soon which is exciting!

As for where I am at, I am still wearing the space boot, however I have been walking without crutches for a couple of weeks now. Once I began using my foot a little the swelling went down quite a bit, and my foot generally felt a lot better. I have also started doing some Physio, only very...
