I just took my cast off last Tuesday and I can...Hi,<br />I just took my cast off last Tuesday and I can completely relate. I was sooo scared to put my foot down and put pressure on it. You spend so much time protecting the thing, that it's scary when it's time to put it on the floor.<br />But I will tell you that once I did, it was such an amazing feeling. I was actually walking!!!! With the help of the boot, of course. Even though I was taking baby steps, it was still really gratifying to be able to walk again. <br />So take your time, use your arms to support you a little bit while you get used to it. It also helps me to ice my foot once I'm done moving around to keep the swelling under control.<br />As far as feeling down, this is an up and down journey that we're on. It's a long road to recovery but it will all be worth it in the end.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06356908118486060453noreply@blogger.com
