So, she got me this lightweight brace that allows me to wear my new, new balance, shoes on BOTH feet. Yay! 
I start PT at the end of the month. Now that's what I'm talking about.
It turns out I tore my ATF, the tendon that runs along the outside of the foot. Well that explains why it is still bruised, today, day 105.
I'm supposed to make 20 clockwise circles then counterclockwise circles daily. Along with the capital letters of the alphabet with my toes. Anyone care to join me?
One, two, three .... Anyone? How about the alphabet, A...B...C... I can't hear you.  Why do I get the feeling I'm all alone?  I'll just get my other foot to work with me. I knew I could find a PT buddy.

Hey - I tore the ligament on the outside of my ankle...we're practically twins! I'm doing some serious PT now to try to strengthen all the muscles that help you balance and keep your ankle in place - it's hard, but I can feel it getting stronger. I'm doing it in an effort to keep from having to get surgery. Feeling pretty positive about it after only a week of PT! I bet you'll do great too.
