Today is Sept. 21st and overall I am feeling pretty good except for some pain near the incision site.  I am still going to physical therapy twice a week.  The therapist is now doing ultra sound and massaging the area to try and loosen up the scar tissue and relieve some pain.  I am progressing pretty good but still have issues with some pain in the toe joints and ankle joint as well as the area near the ankle bone.  I am hoping it will go away and not the nural nerve that has entangled itself in with the scar tissue.  I still walk with a limp as I am still unable to walk normal because the joints hurt when I put weight on it and when I try and push off the pain is strong in the area around the ankle and incision.  I will see if it goes away in the next month or so and if not then I will return to the doctor.

Therapy and strength are getting a lot better.  I am able to get in the pool at the YMCA and have been doing some walking in it and that seems to help out a lot!!  Other things I do at the YMCA to help me is the stationary bike, leg press, treadmill, and some squats.  I am doing laps in the pool using a buoy because I can't flutter kick just yet.  Trying to get more range of motion is pretty tough when your leg is so weak, LOL.  I am able to walk in a shoe so thats a good thing cause last month I couldn't.

I go back to work on the 26th and will see if I am able to stand and walk for 8+ hours.  If not then I will have to see about another schedule until my foot is able to.  I am so ready to start riding my bike, swimming, and running!!!!  I would like to try and do a sprint triathlon sometime in March next year and hopefully end up doing a Olympic that year.  Because by the year 2014 or 2015 I would like to attempt a Florida Ironman!!!!!!

Oh, and before I forget again, the pics at the bottom of this post are from about 3 or so weeks ago.  I decided to go walking with the G/F and daughter and it ended up swelling up on me pretty bad.

My high arch!!

This is how my foot looks (see how its curved up)

How the scar looks today!! 

Swelling after walking for about 4 hours!!!!
