I had a follow-up appointment at the orthopedist's office today! He pretty much asked me if it still hurts and then felt my calf for a bit before making the declaration that I need to remain in the boot for another 3 weeks. At that time, he'll look at me again and consider removing one of the heel wedges in the boot to gradually get me walking normally again. This tells me he'll have me stay in the boot for some time after he removes the wedge. Sigh.
I'm getting around better, though, and he gave me his blessing to walk in the boot without having to use crutches. But he ordered me to rest when I can and avoid moving as much as possible. Basically, I should only walk when necessary.
I'm bored out of my mind, though. I haven't sat around this much in a long time. But, I'm getting a lot of reading done on the weekends since I really have nothing else to do on my days off.
So yeah, I'm still in the boot and then I'll be in the boot for some time after that. I am a prisoner of the boot...
