Post Op Day 79 – sprain away

Energy level: ok
Pain level: 0 for non weight bearing
                3 for 10% weight bearing.

It’s been one week since the sprain and finally my foot fits in my shoe. It’s almost comical that I managed 37 years without a sprain. I must be making up for lost time.

I brave the bike trainer again and gingerly do 5 minutes. I’m able to do the full set of physical therapy stretches, but at with only a fraction of the flexibility I had prior to the sprain.

The question that still plagues me this week – When I attempt to be weight bearing on the injured foot - how much of the pain on the bottom of the foot related to the sprain? Since I have no experience with prior sprains, only time can tell.
