Long walks are out...

My sister, niece and I decided to take the three doggies for a walk. It was such a beautiful sunny day, unusual for mid March. We walked about 3 km. I knew that it was a couple of blocks too much. My foot hurt.
It didn't take long for my foot to start tightening up once I got home. I took 2 advil but the pain was pretty bad, about 5. It lasted all evening. That was yesterday. Even today, my foot is still more sore than usual. I enjoy parking my car 1 km. from work and walking but I guess a 3k walk was too much.

Wow how time flies!!! I just read back about the past year and a half. What an incredible journey. I was curious to see if I would have changed any of the decisions that were made. I have to tell you that it all was done the best way to come to the best outcome.

I very rarely have any swelling in my foot now. There are still many shoes that I can't wear because my injured foot is still bigger around the joint. I don't have a limp at all. If I have been sitting for a long period of time, it does take a few steps to 'loosen' up the joint. If I am wearing running shoes (which I tend to do often) I am quite comfortable. I gave up on high heels. Flat shoes are very painful. Not worth it anymore. But with the right shoes I feel I could walk for however long I wanted now.

It's not 100%, I still can't squeeze my toes as much and I still have the numbness across the top of my foot. The shape of my foot is completely different too.

I still would not have changed a thing and I am very thankful for the wonderful Doctors that I had.
