It’s been a while since I posted an update on the broken ankle. I had a visit with the doc last Monday for X-rays and evaluation. The news was good–the bone is healing well. He told me I could go ahead and walk on it as much as I could tolerate. Turns out I can tolerate quite a bit. It aches some toward the end of the day, but mostly not too uncomfortable. I was using a walker last week because the boot made my balance wobbly. I’m now transitioned from the boot to a much less bulky ankle brace and walking with the help of a cane. I’ve lost a lot of muscle in the bad leg after not using it for six weeks and it’s noticeably weaker than the other leg. I go back second week in October to check on the healing, but as of right now, it’s progressing well. I just need to build up strength.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
