I got a boot!

So,  I had a doctor appointment this morning.  The good news:  no significant movement of the bone so it is still healing  in the right direction.  She said she hadn't expected to see the healing yet, but wanted to make sure it was not having any problems.  I also got a boot, which basically means that I can take it off to shower and maybe if I was watching a movie or something at home, I could take it off and keep it propped up.

The slightly bad news:  I have not been elevating enough.  As far as I know there haven't been any specific consequences from it, but I've been counting myself as elevating it at work when I've only been stretching it out.  It must be above my heart.  Also I can't put weight on it yet, but probably after the next appointment.  Which I forgot to make when I was there. . ... so I will do that now, 2 or 3 weeks.

Also when the splint was off and they were taking new X-rays. . and when they were showing me how to put on the boot. . it felt really weird.  I was sort of automatically afraid to even touch my foot to anything.  putting my foot flat on the x-ray space (without weight) was sort of hard to convince myself to do.  It will take some getting used to when I can really put weight on it.

but anyway, things are still going well, and I'll be healed and whole, and bi-pedal again in no time!
