I thought I was doing pretty well only to realize just his far I have to go. Everything hurt. Plus, I came home with "homework" that is laughable...but sadly, it's also near impossible.
My journal of rehabilitation after Modified Brostrom ATFL repair, removal of bone spurring of the lateral malleolus and arthroscopy to alleviate chronic synovitis.

Freedom...kinda

I got my hard cast off today. It was replaced by a big, heavy, cumbersome black boot.
It's not pretty but it's removable...that's what you call a trade-off.
I'm so excited that in a few days I will be weight bearing and even driving!
My puny, weak right leg. Is it wrong that I want to cast my left leg now so that I can reduce the size of my calf!?! Better yet, what about a thigh or torso cast?

Today I coached our field hockey game and actually got to "walk" the sideline. It sure saved my voice as I've been screaming from my coach chair. I almost felt normal.

In bed almost all day. I overdid it yesterday. :(

First day driving in to work. I cried after my first meeting. I was tired, overwhelmed and in a bunch of pain by 11am. Sadly, I had to take a Percocet and within an hour I felt much better. I have not yet made it through a whole day without pain medication.
