Well.....looks more like limping than walking but I am walking shoe free now. I went to my DR on Wed and had a great visit. Tendon is good for the next step which in this case is walking barefoot and starting Physical Therapy. I am also able to move into my normal shoes now as well so this is a good sign. I am still experiencing some minor and sometimes excruciating nerve pain but it is no longer preventing me from my rehab activities. I just sort of suck it up and move on after it takes my breath away as the pain seems to go away pretty quickly. I am able to walk for longer periods of time now and stand for a good amount. I volunteered for my daughter's field day on Tue and was on my feet for over 4 hours that day while coaching the capture the flag game. There is also a great PT group here where I live who the PT group for the US Olympic soccer team and others so I should be in good hands and will begin the PT next week. So good things to come and working on getting my stride back sooner than later.
