I know I  have to start cutting back on the calorie consumption since I am not exercising… but I am still in pity mode.

 

I went to my second physical therapy session.  I made degrees of progress so my PT guy R said and he gave me more exercises using the resistance bands.

 

 

This weekend I decided to go BOOTLESS.

 

First I had to find a sneaker that would fit on my fat swollen ankle.

 Success! A pair of Reeboks that I got free at the outlets last year. 

I started out using the crutches since I can hardly bend my foot.  Gradually I moved to one crutch and then on Sunday I even limped around the house without crutches!!

It is slow going and I am trying to be smart about it.  I used the wheelchair to go to the mall on Saturday. On Sunday I went SHOPPING by myself for the FIRST time.  I wore the boot for support but left the crutches home.  I went to Marshalls.  Two months without shopping… I scored some big bargains included a pink wool winter jacket for $15!! When I came home, I did my exercises & iced it.

Today I am back in the boot… but I see sneakers in my future!!

Happy Running!  Did you see The Artist?
