Physical Therapy.

After 40 sessions of PT, last Thursday I finally finished for good! Whew! I will admit, the later it got the easier it got...but it was still nice to not have to worry about it twice a week. And at nine in the morning (which isn't too early for us) but still annoying because when you get up at 7:00 you can't sit around in pajamas being lazy. So let's see where I am now...

When I started: 

Boot and crutches

Entire foot (except top) sensitive (very)

Not able to bend my ankle at all :-/

(That's the only "big" things I can think of)

Now:

Brace* and no crutch/cane

Sensitivity on foot much better. Bottom still funny on inner side but getting better (yay!)

Can bend my ankle lots **

At the end I got a free water bottle. Well, two actually cause the lady gave Mama one. You could choose a water bottle, shirt, or reusable shopping bag. I figured the water bottle was best for me. ;-) 

* I am wearing an ankle brace with my sneakers but I can take the brace off and wear my lace up boots. Actually, I'm suppose to be wearing the brace as little as possible so as to wean myself off. 

** We measured how far my ankle could bend (up, down, in, and out) at the last PT session. The first session I couldn't bend it at all without help. Now I can bend it almost all the way in, out, down, and up by myself. But....my Physical Therapist could bend it (all ways) ALL the way. So it does have full range of motion I just don't have enough strength to do it by myself. Which is why I still have some PT stuff I'm suppose to do at home.
