4 Months+ (August 14)
Some positive news to report. I went to the beach over the weekend and was able to walk around without any major issues. The last time I tried, my foot was too sensitive and it was painful to step on anything. I even had to walk across a 10 foot path of rocks & shells to get fully into the water. It didn't feel great on my foot and far from normal but I was able to do it. Every now and then I'm able to do something that reminds me of how far I've come. Just have to keep that in mind.
