Achilles

A week and a half ago I got my stitches out and this splint made. It's open in the back and I can take it off and on to shower. It keeps my foot at a certain angle to protect my achilles. I am supposed to put about 40% body weight on it when walking with crutches to get the blood flowing there again. The healing seems to be going good. Last week Lincoln got underneath me and I hopped over him and landed on my injured foot. It hurt like hell and has been sore every since. I can feel my achilles is still intact though which is most important. Next Tuesday is my next doctor's appointment. I should be out of this splint and into a walking boot. I can't wait for that day! I am a little nervous to walk though since I think it's going to be painful at first. Physical therapy should start next week too.

Notice the nice Cars sticker Matthew gave me since I 'm hurt
