Yesterday I went for my 4 week check-up with the doc and the plan was to remove the cast! Things went well the 2 weeks prior except one little fall at the gym one day, which I must say wasn't my fault (since nothing is EVER my fault) It was my crutch's fault. The metal on the crutch poked through the rubber bottom and as I was leaving the gym, the metal slipped on the tile floor and down I went. I did use my injured leg to land, and it felt a bit weird but afterwards I was fine. More scared if anything. I was worried the stitches would open, but nothing did happen since I still had the cast on. So after my appointment yesterday, I have a boot and my foot was changed to a 90 degree angle. Pretty much looks like a big ski boot. I don't know which one is heavier/ bulkier/ more annoying..the boot or the cast, but I think the boot might win. The only nice thing is that I am able to take the boot off to shower. I still need to use the crutches for 2 more weeks, but I can put some of my body weight on the boot. The doc also said everything is going great...and the tendon is going how it should.
My foot hurts the most now than it has this entire time. Worse than the night I tore it. I think I slept 3 hours last night because it was so uncomfortable. The funny thing is, it's not my tendon that hurts. Its the top of my foot. Everyone says it is normal because I haven't used it for 4.5 weeks and now that I can move it a little bit or even have some range of motion in my foot, the result is painful. My analogy to mom today was lifting weights. If you have never lifted weights before, the first time is going to hurt. You will be sore the next day, etc... well since I basically have no muscle in my left leg...I am starting all over again. It is obvious my muscle is gone... my foot looks limp and swollen and I feel like I have no control over it. Hopefully being able to use it a little more now will get the circulation going, and then I will start with rehab in 2 weeks. ON the positive side, my right leg is stronger than ever as well as my upper body! I know everyone will think I am crazy when I say this and laugh, but I am able to do a one-legged guy push up now... actually more than one like 10-15, and I could never do this before the injury! So wahhoooo! That made me happy. And sometimes I don't use the crutches because they are annoying to pick up which results in me hopping all over the house so the right leg has gotten a workout. Another positive note I told Javi the other day was that at least I had a cute doctor who operated on me. He isn't the cutest man on Earth, but somewhat attractive and young so that always make the appointments go better! :) Over and out...and I will post some pics of my foot soon!
