I had my first physio session yesterday, and I’ll be going twice each week for the next few weeks. I think as important as these sessions are the exercises I have to do at home. I left the first session thinking this is easy-peasy. I did more exercises later at home. No problem. It was not until later, around dinner time, that my body acknowledged the work I had done, and reminded me to not over-do things right away. A little nap was in order.

My right foot still has some swelling, and my range of movement is still limited – but at least, out of the cast now, I can move it around some. The exercises work on that range of movement. They also work on strengthening various other muscles in my feet and legs. Makes good sense.

I don’t have to have the air cast on if I’m hanging around the house. I do wear it anytime I go up or down stairs, or if I have to go out for anything or anytime I feel I need to protect it. I just have to keep vertical weight off it. It is super-fantastic to be able to sleep through the night without a cast on!

I go back on Friday for more.
