Hello foot friends!!!

So I took my first steps in P/T today!!! It HURT---but yet, I feel like I am moving forward. Its scary---b/c I have not had any problems with swelling---but let me tell ya, I DO have swelling now!!!

I worked with the actual P/T today----and not my PTA friend like I prefer---and of course, the P/T ( who has been wanting me to walk for weeks, but of course, I wasn't allowed per doctor's orders)--- I can tell, if it was up to her, I would be ditching the crutches by Friday---thats just how she is----but I already addressed that with my doctor, and he is in no hurry. So there you have it!!!

I go back to P/T tomorrow----so we will see who I get to work with----I actually had alot of pain today in P/T----and it was doing this one particular exercise-----it felt like i had a cramp inside my ankle----its hard to describe what I mean----but I can tell you, for me, who I really don't complain and tolerate pain fairly well----I almost cried. The P/T wasnt all that concerned---but you know---whatever----I wanna know what was causing that pain!!!!

And by the way----those of you that have screws-----all of a sudden, yesterday, BEFORE i walked i noticed a bruise on my heel, at the screw incision site---and I had not done anything to it---do you think its trying to back out???

Hope everyone is doing well----
