Pitty party for one

[themysteriouswife]

Physical therapy isn't going well. My ankle, foot, and toes are swollen. My PT thinks I went at it too hard and too quick. They've dialed back my routine and added more elevation and ice. I am very discouraged. I was wanting to be out of my boot and in my brace by July. I am trying to avoid surgery at all cost. I am on my way to TN. It looks like I will be planted on GMILs couch all weekend.

And I want a pedicure! I am afraid to get one. I don't want them mashing and twisting my ankle

Hugs! Sorry about the PT. sending you foot healing vibes.

I'm sorry things aren't going well. Slow and steady is the way to go with rehab. I hope things start to improve with your new routine.

Can you get a (mostly) one leg pedicure and just have them paint your bad leg, and do a full pedicure on the other?

I might do that before I leave for Aruba. I am just bummed.

WTMFingF? My ankle is now turning colors and hurting in the OPPOSITE side of initial injury. I quit. You can find me under a bridge missing my left leg.

Oh no!  I would call your advice line. I'm so sorry things are worse

I did. My doctor is OOT. They told me to ice and prop. I'm doing that. I can go to the ER, but considering I am in a boot, I doubt they will do anything.
