Well I know I shouldn’t but I just couldn’t wait.🙄I removed the boot 2 days early. I have been walking round with the boot and my built up shoe and not using the crutches all week, with no pain or swelling so I thought I’d see how I went.

Last night I took the boot off and just walked gently round the sitting room, out into the kitchen and back again. And was okay but a bit wobbly ( fear of it hurting I think). Then this morning I got out of bed and walked into the bathroom before I remembered and I was just walking naturally. So I showered, dressed and came downstairs. ( on my bum down the stairs still, I hasten to add). I took it easy throughout the day resting in settee and then sun lounger between making breakfast, then lunch and I also did a few gentle ankle strengthening exercises when I did my arm and core ones this afternoon. No pain, no swelling and much less wobbly.

And before anyone says I’m having a quiet day at home again tomorrow. I’m not going to be silly about this but I know my own body.

Oh and the pic? I’d just read another post about how hot it is and then I saw this clip.. thought it said it all

Thanks for all your good wishes while I’ve been laid up but hopefully this is the start of me making a good recovery. And I’m still not going to rush into running , don’t worry.

Good luck getting your mobility back again limberlou. It will be nice to have you back again off that sun lounger.

Indeed. I drove to sainsburys and did a shop today too. A bit slow going round the shop but I did it and I’ve soaked my feet in Epsom salts tonight and feel fine. 👍great believer in that stuff I am.

Sports massage tomorrow afternoon and I’m REALLY looking forward to that. And then I want to start building up my walking properly and get some strength and mobility back.

Popped by to see how things went on Friday? Hoping all is well and you're on the final steps to full recovery now xx
