It's Christmas...

I'm home alone tonight (my husband has to close, so he won't be home until 11:30-11:45). This morning we went to my Sister-In-Law's house for Christmas. It was really nice to spend a few hours with the family. My niece is adorable when she opens gifts.

We'll start with the good news. My ankle seems to be progressing quite well. I can limp on it for short periods of time now. That's a huge milestone for me :) I'm continuing the the PT, and slowly putting more and more weight on it as I walk.

Then to the bad news. I'm able to give a bit of a forewarning this time. I may not be able to post any updates for a while. Work is picking up again. We reach a huge milestone recently, and lost a major part of our department, so I'm going to be insanely busy there for a while. Hopefully the stress doesn't set back my recovery.

A light at the end of the tunnel?

Shortly after my last post I broke my ankle (yup, the one with the RSD). It's been a long 4 weeks. I hadn't used crutches in such a long time I had almost forgotten how to use them. I've gotten the hang of it since, though.

I've been trying my best to keep it mobile and keep up with my PT, as per the doctor's instructions.

I had my check up with the orthopedic doctor today. He checked out my ankle, had me stand on it (which I managed to do for about .5 seconds), and told me it looks good. He said it seems to be healing, and it doesn't seem as though I've done any more damage than they had originally expected :D He scheduled a follow up for 6 weeks from now, but he said that if I'm walking on it in a month or so, I could call and cancel it.

It's nice to get some good news :)
