Bring on the PT...

Turns out that soaking my leg after the cast came off was not a one-time thing! The new raw skin feels worse than a sunburn! Good grief...I didn't expect that!!  I've faithfully completed my stretches on my own all week while I've waited to begin PT today. My PT guy was impressed because I've re-gained my full range of motion for all non-weight bearing movements.  He even let me begin partial weight bearing today.  I've crutch "walked" around the house 3 times. It's hard and it hurts enough to keep me from over doing it. I also started using a compression sock to decrease the swelling and my foot is not as purple or numb. I'm more hopeful today than I was yesterday...I'm thankful for that!!!
