I hope she won't enter the room with the same injury as mine or some other injury.
We will get together 2 times a week (if we can schedule the sessions) and the goal is: walking and getting strength and condition again.
I have been doing my exercises, but the result is an absolute minimum.
Got my insoles from the podotherapist.
They helped a bit against the pain. So that was a gain.
As my outside shoes had gone dirty I didn't want to wear them in the house anymore.
Ordering a new pair won't break the bank, but it will take over a week to get them here.
Noneof my other shoes wanted access by the insoles and my foot. Well, in fact not even the foot alone could get in.
That didn't feel good at all.
I was planning to make something for inside the house when Isuddenly thought of the pile of socks son 3 had left when he moved out. I saved them for using them as a cleaning cloth, but.....
The insole fits in the sock and my foot can be added too.
I have to be careful not to place my foot wrong anyway, so the risk of tripping over an extra cm at the toe is small.
I have been wearing this improvised footwear for a day now, and it works.
The pain in my knee has subsided a bit. Which means the soles are doing their job by supporting the foot in line of the leg.
Someone asked me how the ankle feels.
It's like a firm band is around it.
At first I thought it was the skin, and part of the feeling was caused by the skin pulled too tense around it. Otherwise the would would have healed immediately and the scar wouldn't have split into a gaping wound of several centimeters wide. It's now almost closed, but it still doesn't feel well.
I can move my anke a bit, but everyone is pushing on my foot to get it into a flex or a stretch, but the movement is limited. I was told it was the archilles tendon and I agreed at first, but now I don't anymore. It's stretched enough.
The foot feels stiff, even when moving as fr as possible.
The nerves at times keepfiring an intense piercing pain, or simmer as a nagging neurological pain. Even at rest.
Allthough I keep positive, I'm doubting if I'll ever walk in a normal way again.
I have changed the goal from walking in a normal way into: painless existence.
All I want to do is to be able to teach and support the veterans.
The last means travelling... so I'd better get a red coat so people see me and are aware something is the matter when I don't walk fast enough in railwaystations.
I know my way around,I know how far distances are.
So I won leave here unless proper arrangements are made or I can deal with what's necessary.
Going to prepare for the physiotherapist now.
I hope she won have me pushing and pulling all those horrible "things".
She has been a ballet fanatic too.... so I supposed she will come with some proper dance exercises... and as I have been doing some at home...I wonder if she will come up with the same.
At least we will have a good laugh....
