My New Moon Boot

The doctor said I can ditch my crutches, but I can't even take one step without them. This is going to take some time to learn! (8 1/2 weeks since my ankle fracture)

[Kerri]

Hope you are starting to feel better

[KWind]

Wow... such a long recovery. I hope you're up and moving soon.

[Margaret Obey]

That is a long time Julie. Hope it speeds up for you.

[Leah]

Yes!!! The boot!!! I've been there and done that!!! Not fun!!! Hope your ankle heals soon and you are back walking normal again soon!!!

[debi]

Good luck with that boot,I hope things improve soon!

[Vicki Dixon]

oh, I feel for you! one year ago, I was right there! and last month, one year later, I was hiking again!! you can do it!

[Julie Ryan]

@vickisfotos @lealady I am trying to learn to walk. Is it better to use two crutches and work on an even gait, or use one crutch, putting more weight on the foot and eventually lose that crutch? What did you do?

[Julia]

No fun! Hope your ankle heals soon.

[Rita]

Not quite same but with fractured knee I went one crutch, but did get quite bit of backache from being un-equal

[Vicki Dixon]

I was using two and both feet, then went to just one crutch on the broken foot side...then realized that I was sometimes just carrying the crutch...so I tossed it...it was so nice to finally have my hands free again. It is tough, but you can do it

Well, this doesn't look like any fun, but believe it or not, it's a sign of progress, right? Best wishes figuring out how to walk with that contraption on your leg.

Thank you for the nice comment shared on my Rusty Grill picture the other day. Appreciate your stopping by!

pd...I think getting past the fear of it hurting was worse than the actual hurting part of it...did that make sense?
