Foot was still a bit swollen when I woke up this morning. It's odd how the swelling really seems to be in the foot and not as much in the ankle. May just be perception though (although I can tell when my foot is being squeezed).
Having a hard time finding the right balance between keeping it down and elevating. Swelling doesn't go down as quickly as I would like it to. I had my foot down for about 40 minutes this morning and then elevated for a few hours. Had it down while I bathed (20 minutes), then again while I was in the car for about 15 minutes, then at waist level on couch for 3 hours before 15 minute drive home. It's swollen and aching this evening. I can even see the swelling in my toes. Was planning to attempt a few hours in the office tomorrow but will have to wait and see if the swelling is down in the morning.
Today is 4 weeks since the surgery. Tomorrow is 3 weeks until I get the cast off, get boot, and can start partial weight bearing. Can't wait to put this whole experience behind me.
