Even though I’ve had the Vader Boot off for nearly a month now, I’ve still been limiting my walking. There’s been a lot of lost strength and flexibility to regain, as well as stamina.

The past three nights, though, we have Gone For Walks! Slightly less than a mile one night, about a mile and a half the next, and then about a mile this evening. It’s still a bit (or quite, sometimes) painful during and after. I’m not sure if the ice pack is strictly necessary, but it makes things feel better. And a wrap keeps the swelling down. I’m not sure what my physical therapist will have to say about it Wednesday, but it makes me very happy to resume some sort of physical routine.
