A little more progress today. My feet were freezing this morning and since I was just hanging around the house I really didn't feel like putting on shoes and my Minnetonka moccasin slippers still won't go on. I remembered a had a pair of down booties that I had gotten as a gift years ago. Slipped those on and my toes were nice and toasty while I got into a good book.
I had scheduled swim time this afternoon and my doctor said it would be okay to swim as long as the incision looked healed up. So that meant I had to take the steri strips off to check things out. They came off easier than expected. The incision didn't look too bad but my gut told me that a public pool with little ones in the lane next to me probably was jumping the gun a bit. I decided to wait a couple more days. After 2 1/2 weeks, don't want to jeopardize progress with an infection. Things have been going pretty well so far.
Probably didn't walk as much as I should have today although I did walk around the house in the down booties which was like walking barefoot-- no cushion under my feet. I hadn't been able to do so far but today it felt okay. I worked my toe back and forth a lot while I was reading. Will be heading out tonight. I may see what other shoes I might be able to get on my foot tonight.
