Still swollen, but still walking!

3 weeks ago today, was my first day of walking after being in a cast for 8 weeks!  Walking is still going well.  I walk with almost no pain.  It almost feels like normal.  I do not limp, unless I have overdone it or don't have good shoes on.  The swelling has gone down, but it still gets pretty swollen.  When I get home from work it is huge.  But I try to ice it and elevate it at least once a day.

I even went to the rec center yesterday.  I wanted to do a little more than just walking, but I am afraid to do too much.  I noticed its hard for me to get on my tippy toes.  I think that is due to flexibility and strength.  So I have been trying to work on my calf muscle.  It is amazing how much muscle tone has come back.  My legs almost look equal!

Last weekend, I spent two days at the beach.  It almost made me forget that I spent the majority of my summer in a cast.  I am very happy and grateful to be doing so well.
