I took a few steps on my bare foot today.

It was ok, actually.

And I have new exercises in which I have to stand on my toes, owie. (holding on to something)

And now doc only wants to see me in another month.

I guess he thinks I'm doing fine with PT on my own...

Oh, but it looks like I've developed a small ganglion cyst in my little toe.

So that's lame. I have to massage it.

[Marle]

Yay for progress! When can you drive?

[pantsparty]

Good news!

It's amazing once you start recovering from a foot surgery. I can run up the stairs again and it feels like a miracle!

Sidenote- it feels like this shit takes FOREVER to heal, amirite? Or is it just me?

Um, yeah. I have no idea when I'll be driving again.

Any recs for decent orthotics that are not $300/pair? Amazon?

[Bernadine]

Yay, that's so great!

I had CUSTOM orthotics :tosses hair:

When I put my $600 orthotics in my $150 tennis shoes, I nearly wept.

I have had good results with Powerstep brand inserts though and they are only $30

OK, I'll look for those. He wants them to be "hard", so not the rubbery stuff. My feet are really flat - part of the reason I had such bad spreading of my metatarsals, they roll outwards. He wants me in orthotics so that the surgery doesn't undo itself. I'm hoping he didn't mean forever.

[saraandmichael]

yay!

[MWOS]

The powersteps are definitely a rigid insert!

[HiC]

Awesome!!
