Today is Wednesday, July 7.   Three weeks into bearing weight, and what  a roller coaster!  I think I have felt every emotion under the sun in the past three weeks.  I was feeling a little discouraged over the holiday weekend.  I did climb on my daughter’s horse (don’t tell my doctor) because a good ride always cheers me up.  However, I couldn’t keep up my usual pace and had to have a lot of help for my annual barbecue.  But that discouragement make me work even harder.

My dedication showed in yesterday’s therapy session.  I was able to bear 100% of my weight on my foot, and because of that I got to explore the adventure of new exercises.   Climbing stairs, standing on one foot, and rotating a platform with a ball under it.  Side to side didn’t go so well, but front and back was successful.    Daranee worked on my calf muscle a little, which seemed to loosen up quite a bit more.   And oh yeah, I can now wear my regular shoes as often as I want.

I am very excited to be headed toward walking.  Should be there before I know it!
