Oh, ok you went right into a boot, for me that would have be a godsend since the cast was so torturous to me. Day one of PT went really well. It felt so good just to move my foot again. Didn't have pain just discomfort with some of the stretches.
I take it off several times a day because it's hot here in Georgia too. I broke my ankle on the 4th of July so this has been a hot and miserable summer for sure.
I'm not sure how often you should take it off. I do sleep in it because the doctor told me I should do so.
I started PT today, he wants me to leave it off whenever I'm sitting or laying day so I can stretch and move it a lot. I still have to sleep in it. You broke your ankle on 4th of July and your still in the boot, I'm so sorry. That's a long recovery. Are you weight bearing yet?
Good luck I hope your almost done with your boot! 
Hoping your in Even Up Shoe. To promote straight gait. And no secondary injuries.
That sounds really great, keep up the spirit dear 😊 ... glad to know it was painfree. And yes I can understand how happy you must be with feeling of moving around. I am looking forward to that day. Cheers!
I think it is easier to put on while on the bed with your leg horizontal. There are videos on YouTube for the correct way to put on a boot.
I had extensive surgery since it was a severe open/compound fracture. Also I developed osteomyelitis and the healing seemed to just stop for a few weeks. I can weight bear in two more weeks and I finished 42 days of IV antibiotics this past Monday! Whoo hoo!
Never in a million years did I think anything like this would happen. It was like my life was on hold for nearly three months and I missed traveling to California for vacation
Things are much better now and I'm actually doing stretches as I type.
Wow you have been through a lot. Only forward motion now!! Two more weeks until you can bear weight, that's a major milestone! I totally understand life being on hold, I feel exactly the same way.
Life can change in an instant.
Stretches feel so good, just to have movement again is amazing.
Stay strong it sounds like the worst is behind you!! 
Hi Jenni,
I am wearing my Even Up shoe. It does help with my balance. I am actually putting weight on my foot now when walking with my crutches!! Baby steps but I will take it.
Hope your recovery is going great,
Thanks, great idea, there is a You Tube video for everything!
Hi. Machalle. Yep YouTube taught me heaps. I am having trouble at times accessing this forum so I'm not being rude it just won't let me go to comments. I'll work it out. My leg is giving me grief this week. Shin sore and clicks hardwear. Yuk
Where in Georgia are you? I’m in Valdosta. I broke mine on June 15th so I know what you mean.
I learned how to walk with crutches on YouTube. All of this is new to me as I have never had a broken bone!
Hi Jenni,
I have been having trouble accessing this forum too. Sorry your having a hard week. Hopefully this one will be much better. I cant wait until the swelling goes away and I can just jump up and walk again!!
Someday soon I hope, for all of us!!
