I did it!  I'm walking without the boot and minimal use of crutches!  I even drove hubby's car today!  He has an automatic which is easier to drive than my manual.

There is hope for me yet!!

YYEEEAAAHH! Congrats. That's wonderful news.

Cool beans, BB.  :)

Just try not to wear yourself out or do more than you should. I knew you wouldn't be down long.

Hey, that`s good. Well done.

Just take it easy though. Do your physio exercises and build up slowly.

Oh dear!  There is nothing worse than a spring rain and a long walk.  I will put my weather wishes to give you a sunny comfortable day for your walk.  (Otherwise, don't forget the snorkle!)

lol!  thanks :)

Hooray!  So glad you're up and around again.   http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/happy/057.gif

You go girl!!  I knew you'd be a great PT patient ;D

Hi BB, glad you're doing better :) I haven't logged in for awhile but this is a pleasant surprise!!! Lots of hugs for you.

Another grand advancement!  I was finally able to put my old biking shoe on my right foot!  Yippee!!  I spent 20 minutes spinning on my bike and it felt great.

I'll keep spinning for a few more days before I venture out on the road on my bike.  I'm not so worried about the physical biking part as much as I am stopping and having to put my foot down.  My right foot is my balancing foot when I stop and start.  (On the up side - it is my left foot that is my power stroke to get started!).

Woot!!!! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/950/ole.gif You go girl!

Hooray!  I bet you feel sooooooooo good!! ;D

Woohoo! That's wonderful!  :D :D :D

Congratulations for getting on your feet again!;D Have fun cycling :)  

I've kept hoping the swelling in my foot would decrease enough for the bike shoe to fit comfortably, but it just wasn't happening.  So..... my dear, lovable, best friend, hubby decided I needed to buy the cycling sandals that I've wanted for several years, but could never justify.

We went out and got the sandals this morning - they felt great.  Then we went for a bike ride.  ;D  20 miles at a nice and easy pace.  It was wonderful.  Now I finally feel like recovery is in sight.

Foot treats!  Yippee!!!  Nothing like toe rings,ankle bracelets and new sandals!!!  Nice tootsie presents for when you ride....what could be better????  (Maybe yarn for knitting or crocheting ;D)

Toe rings and ankle bracelets are not on my list.  I have the shortest, stubbiest toes around (I usually don't even have a toe nail on my little toes - they always rip off because there is so little nail bed).  I don't think an ankle bracelet would fit around my fat ankle.  

Up until last year I NEVER wore an open toe sandal or shoe.  My poor toes are so prone to being stubbed I need to protect them.  But then I found Birkenstocks.   :D  The footbed is designed in such a way that my poor tootsies have enough protection.  The same with my biking sandals.  I'm not sure I'll ever wear them without socks, but who knows  - I might.  ;D

(And as for the yarn - I have enough to open a store and am seriously considering starting to teach lessons!)

:)  I thought the same about my ankles,but I either wear 9 1/2 or 10 inches and I'm ok.  The toe rings,well that's a yoga thing with me and I wear a rose gold one on the left side and a silver one on the right! :)  THey are too comfortable and have been there 4 years already!!  
When I was heavy I had an ankle chain that was 12 inches so I know you ankles are just fine ;D
Teach class??  Go for it!!!!

I'm the other way around!  I have such tiny feet!  I'm a 7 but they look like a 5. I've got a silver ring on my second toe on the right foot.  Had it there for years and no problems.  I love ankle braclets too but always manage to break them. :P   I also think you should teach knitting Robin, it would be great!  ;D

no no,Lisabelle!!  I wear a 7 1/2 wide or 8 in shoe size,but wear either a 9 1/2 inche or 10 inches in ankle chains!! ;D  You do have tiny feet!! :) ;)

Oh I see! ::)  I know my feet are little when I can wear Japanese zori's, of which, are very small. 8)

It's ironic that I have a wide foot,but I wear size 4 or 6 in clothing!!!  Alot of people (clothes manufacturers in particular) think that because you have a wide foot that you weigh alot!   ::) :)
