It is both relaxing and restless as hell not to do anything all day. I don’t know really how to describe other then that.
I’ve spent the week doing floor exercises at home before, means I get 30 more minutes of sleep. As the week as gone on, walking much, much better. Able to do the stairs without stutter-stepping…..and felt almost normal Friday.
But I have to keep reminding myself that it is not normal yet…..because one ankle is bigger then the other, so I can over do it.
Had my first appt with the physical therapist Friday. The very good news it is not a sprain, which indicates damaged ligaments/muscles. I over did it…..the muscles are inflamed.
I’ve been giving some exercises and I can start back at the gym tomorrow. BUT I will have to force myself not to push it, to take it easy, no idea how I’m going to do that. This is going to be hard…….ggrrr….. Happy to be active again and get back into part of my routine….still need a modified gym routine.
After doing a bunch of errands yesterday, I made a point of doing just about nothing today…..and boy it was nothing. I don’t even have 1300 steps on today! ICKS! I’ve had days up to 32,000. I did want to give my ankle a full day off.
We’ll see how it goes tomorrow….fingers crossed.
