Two Stories to Tell: Story Juan

So first the story of the boot! I spent seven weeks in it and was excited to get out of it, perhaps too excited! The last week was the week of Fall Break at Thanksgiving Time. The seventh week! So Monday when we went back to school I was eager to have it off! Monday, and Tuesday I was fine, but then I forgot something at home so I rushed home and when I came down the stairs in a hurry I managed to dislocate it again. I could barely walk back to the car, so I went back inside the house and put the boot back on! I didn't even make it three days! Quelle lastime!

So I'm prepared to go 14 weeks with the dad gum boot, but I am being brazen in my approach because any chance I get I'm not wearing the boot and doing my toe exercises and even going for walks.

By the time Winter Break came I had been in the boot a total of nine weeks. Not a happy camper! I know with the knee trouble I had recently I had to get off the compression stuff and start strengthening the actual knee. I am using that approach now with my dislocated metatarsal. Doctor Hughes did not cover this. I tried to get in to see my doctors, but due to the holidaze my appointments are getting cancelled. ¡Muy interesante! Happy
