Week 12 - Walking |
I feel like a child, unable to walk correctly. And I feel like I'm doing it wrong. This walking stuff is hard, especially since I've been off the foot for 3 months.
Currently, I'm walking (hobbling) short distances in the CAM boot. My heel hurts at times, and so does my knee. But its just sore from not being used for so long. I am also afraid that I progressed too fast from 30 lbs to full weight, but my body did not give me any discouraging signals. I took that as a green light to progress to 75 lbs to full weight by the weekend. However, I am only able to put full weight on the leg for about a few seconds before I start flinching. So I'll be slowly working on that this week, working to the point of being comfortable.
And then hopefully, I can start walking in shoes. I read that I have to keep the CAM boot on if I'm going to stay on my feet for a long time, so I won't be throwing away das Boot yet. We're in it together for the long haul.
