Day 37

Day 37, March 9, 2012: First full day back at work, Vacocast ordered.

As mentioned, took Thursday off because Wednesday having been the first full day "upright" was just too much. But being back at work with the "team" was refreshing and really just want to get back to "normal" (again one of those things you'll have to cope with).

Friday went by ok, until the end of day when hanging out (our company has on site weekly happy hour) on crutches for a while, was definitely ready to go home and get the leg elevated at that point.

But even after only a couple of days with the boot, I just couldn't see myself being cooped up at the fixed position in this boot for weeks to come, so I caved and ordered a vacocast pro today.

As mentioned previously, when the cast came off I was given a prescription for physical therapy... after two weeks. Likely several Achilles bloggers, that just seems too slow. I at the very least want to start attempting to test my body to see if it can start sooner. It'll take a week for the vacocast to get here anyway, so we'll see.
