Day 51

It's been 5 weeks since surgery. Since I got my boot off on Wednesday, I haven't had the energy to take a shower. I did that this morning. I think it took 15 minutes to shave my lower leg. It was so hairy. Plus, it's just difficult. My quad and calf are very weak. It's crazy to see the size difference. It's even worse to not be able to move my foot much. I can barely lift my foot up. It takes all my concentration to lift my foot up or to move it side to side. I try to do that a couple times a day since that's what I'll be doing at physical therapy. I'm happy that I don't have to sleep with my boot on. I feels great to be able to have air on my leg again.
I just hope that my physical therapy goes well. I want to be able to start walking on my own soon.
