My Wife's Foot, Part III

It is now 114 days since my wife broke her foot. The cast came off in early August, replaced by a boot. She wore the boot all day for three weeks, removing it for sleeping and bathing. Then she started walking on her foot without a boot, gingerly, around the house, but still wearing the boot much of the time. Progress was steady, until a few days ago, when her foot began to ache after a long day on it (with and without the boot).

She is scared that the pain means she will never be able to walk without pain. I do not know what the eventual outcome will be. I encouraged her to take ibuprofen and keep off her foot for a few days, much as she would if she had never broken her foot.

She is scheduled to have the screws surgically removed on October 12; the pre-op meeting is October 5.
