It's been three weeks since my ankle surgery and for the first time, I was able to go to the bank and walk about 10 blocks to get home - with the walker and the moon boot.
I was so excited! I realize now how careful you have to be with a walker and that the streets are so crooked! You don't know it until you're trying to balance on a walker with cracked cement below your feet and a boot which is angled and clunky making it so difficult to maneuver. Anyway, I made it and felt terrific afterwards.

In two weeks she said I could take off the boot and wear sneakers. She wants me to wear a compression sock if we travel on a plane. We're trying to reschedule our trip for December.
She took out the stitches and for the first time, I saw how much she opened up my ankle. The incision is almost 3 inches long!
She made one long stitch and took it out today.
So I'm almost there!!!
So excited to start feeling like a normal person again.
I will be SO CAREFUL from now on to make sure this never happens again. It was a lesson from G-d, I'm sure to slow down!
And now I will.
Better to be safe than sorry, as they say. One step at a time.
