Today we are at the four week post-op mark .... yippee!! All continues to be well with the toes staying flat to the ground. I've walked more this week with the boot shoe and there is still no pain - big praise! It gets tired still, but that is expected. The plan this weekend and moving forward is to transition out of the boot shoe into a normal shoe. I'm planning to take it slow and will wear the boot as needed or if I know I have a lot of walking .... hopefully in another week I won't need it at all. Once you start wearing a shoe, usually the shoe feels better. It definitely feels much better and like it is "back to normal."
Today at work I must have had ten parents ask me why was it that they came last year to BizTown and I was in a boot/cast then as well! They all wanted to know if it was the same foot, same problem, etc. ..... yes to everything - we're still working on it!
I return to the my orthopod in about another week or so, for a recheck. No plans for pt as of yet .... we will see how the walking goes and I'll then be able to tell if I feel like it is needed.
We've moved some things back to my house last night and will do the remaining items on Friday/Saturday ... looking forward to sleeping in my own bed.
I've been pretty busy at work this week, so I haven't had a lot of time to dwell on the foot problem ... just trying to do "life" and take it day-by-day. Still very thankful for your thoughts, e-mails, cards, and prayers.
Happy weekend to you!

Jenny, Sounds like everything is going your way for a change. I bet you will be happy to get back to your own place and your bed. The old saying there is no place like home is so true! Lets keep praying for continued healing and flat toes. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Ted,Carol, and Teddy. PS: Can you believe he will be 13 Monday the 27th of April. Where did that time go?
