2 more days and the boot should be off

I have experienced a few firsts over the last couple of weeks and I really feel that the recovery is accelerating fast.  Down to one crutch, then no crutches and yesterday, for the first time, I felt strong enough to walk up and down the hall without the boot on!  You don’t miss something till it’s gone, but believe me, it was a great experience to walk again.  I started physio 3 weeks ago and it has been going very well.  Initially it was very painful but I am now doing basic strength exercises with a band.  The weird thing is that a lot of the rehabilitation is in re-training the brain to send the right signals to the foot.  Once you crack it, the mobility isn’t too bad, but it sometimes takes a while to convince the brain to move the foot up and down properly.  I see the surgeon again on Monday and am hoping that I will be told that I can go into two shoes.
