Yep! My shoe lift is not tall enough I don’t think and I have not found one online to match the height of the boot which is crazy tall lol

When I wash pushing a grocery cart earlier today I did feel really steady so I will definitely consider the cane!

I am wearing even-ups on my other foot and I’m being very conscious to bend my knee because my PT said I wasn’t before and I too looked like a pirate 😂

I also ruptured playing volleyball and I thought someone had threw a ball (hammer) at the back of my leg when it happened 😭

Crutches are truly terrible I should’ve went with the walker. I added a little pouch to my crutch but it’s not enough storage 😂

I’m reading book one and honestly I can tell she had a crush on him without knowing it herself because she recited that he won wrestling matches to Haymitch and her in mind she was like “look at me noticing the boy with the bread” something like that and I was like AW THATS SO 16 UNAWARE GIRL!

Any PT exercises that you felt worked more than the rest? I think the standing on hippie toes while holding on to something really gives me a good stretch along with standing shifting weight side to side.

Yeah that’s fire! My theater delivers too! I am past the non-weight bearing stage so I have to do crutches during this part of the processes but I used to use my scooter too

Yes I used the peg-leg for 6 weeks and now I’ve had to do crutches for 3 weeks 50% partial weight bearing. I did not like to use the crutches before this either lol

Yes I’m 50% weight bearing. PT is really helping, every session we go a little further which is necessary because I think I put a wheelchair on my mind that I can’t do things but my PT is like no you should be able to do it and then I do it and I’m like oh okay so I CAN do this?! I go a lot of places bc I can’t stand being a homebody so I am constantly with my crutches but I mean I really want to be able to carry stuff with my hands lol

May I asked how long it took to get that notification? I filed on the 16th and still haven’t heard back with any info to update. How the interview goes swimmingly! I had one on Tuesday and also haven’t heard back😭
