In the 4(+/-) weeks since the last MRI of the foot and meeting with the ortho...I have not followed Dr's advice. I have used the foot more each day. I am walking without aids now and I am experiencing far less swelling and pain than when I was on crutches and in an AFO.

I am told the foot will never be "whole" or fully healed but after 12 months on crutches, it's time to live again.
