Well it's not a boot like I thought it'd be but instead it's an aircast, old-school style and I should be wearing it whenever I'm walking around. I also have an ankle brace that I can wear when driving or doing any other activities where I cannot wear the boot. I have to go back in 3 weeks for a check-up and see if it's getting any better but for now it's 0 activity for me, well for my legs, for probably 6 weeks. I'm gonna go absolutely crazy. I'll post pictures of the boot tomorrow, just wanted to get the update out there first.
So here it is:
It's been just over a week and it's starting to getting annoying already. The air cast itself is comfortable but walking with it is not. I don't have any shoes/boots to even out my left leg so I'm walking uneven but hopefully I'll go get some shoes this weekend. I cannot drive in it so I have to drive in my ankle brace instead and I wear the ankle brace at home too since I'm not walking around much.
5 weeks to go!
If it's in an aircast, what about activity like rowing? Or is that still too much pressure? I'm just thinking it would be a great workout when you feel that "I can't sit here another day" feeling.
ReplyDeleteGood idea, not sure but kayaking I think would be great. And yes, I'm having that feeling already!!!
