Here I am fitted with an amazing piece of equipment. I just hope i can figure out how to put it on again. It has all sorts of straps and velcro and moving parts. I even have a miniature pump to inflate the boot with air to keep my foot compressed as the swelling reduces. I stopped off at school to pick up more note cards and show off my new mobility but I don't intend to return til Friday noon. I was actually rather tuckered out by the time I got settled at home.
BTW, the title of the picture was inspired by a 1981 German film about the world of a WWII German U-boat; In this case "boot" means "boat" (So what is the german word for "boot"--maybe "boat"?)
If you had two of them on I'd say you're ready for a walk on the moon! The technology is amazing. It does look heavy though- so I'm not surprised walking around in it wore you out!
Oh, m y, that reminds me of a woman on my Italian adventure who wore one of those, up and down steps and hills, through crowded alleyways, dodging motorcycles -- I don't know how she did it without even complaining.
Well, I think it's best to try to stay off of it, as much for the injured foot as for the alignment of your poor body. And why not go get a massage and a soak in a spa once in a while? :)
