I'm now just over 2 weeks into my second bit of post-surgical rehab. Having been through the process once before, it was somewhat easier this time. At least I knew what to expect and I had the "surgically altered" sneaker ready for hobbling around. The crutches were abandoned after a couple of days and I was soon able to wear the old sneaker and move around more freely. I even walked about 2 km on a nearby trail through the woods. It was slow going, but nice, and since there was no snow, I only had to be careful that I didn't land on the injured foot the wrong way. I can drive again. Catherine's automatic is obviously easiest, but I can manage the truck as long as I'm careful how I push on the clutch.Otherwise, I've had one day helping babysit the twins and it was only slightly more tiring than it usually is. I spend my days working in the shop and reading by the fire. We just got a thin layer of snow overnight and that may make getting around outside a wee bit more hazardous, but it should be manageable.
Right now I'm planning on bandage removal in 5 weeks and then I can get into the ski season. In the meantime, I have skis to wax, a number of woodworking projects and lots of books to read. I'm trying not to spend any extra time on Facebook.....
