Got the Go Ahead - Sort of

Yesterday I gave up my splint on my foot/ankle for a cast. Five week in this. I fits pretty good. With the swelling way down and the bad spots from a the sweating mostly cleared up I got the cast. While I was sitting there after it was put on I asked the PA about doing the Equinox. A long pause of no response so I said "Walking" and he said that was a good goal. Great now I have taken down one barrier. I stopped by at physical therapy to drop off my old boot to see if it was still usable. As I was leaving I told them I was doing the Equinox and I got back "Walking?" It looks like I have support there too which I will need.

June 15 the cast comes off and the boot goes on and I start to apply weight to my foot. Then 6 weeks of building back up to walking!

I still need to check with the Dr. in Anchorage but last time he had no problem with me starting to run. If it is healed go ahead. I also have hockey starting in the fall. He plays hockey so he understands the need to get going.
