another woohoo!
major baby steps happening these days. i know, how can a baby step be a major step. but, let me explain what has transpired.
forgot to mention that i walked down (and then up) my first flight of stairs in over 2 months yesterday! down is much harder than up, and i'm sure i was quite flat-footed, but hey, i did it. and sure, it took much longer than it would have to walk down the hall to the elevator, but i did it!
spent my first night last night with no covering whatsoever on the ankle. no splint (obviously, that's been gone for a while). but normally i wrap it in an ace bandage or two to provide support and prevent my from scratching itchy scars. but last night: no bandage! and i survived!
i'm really sore this morning but i think that's more from PT and has nothing to do with a lack of bandage. :-)

Did it surprise you that going down the stairs was harder than going up? It did me...I didn't realize how many muscles are used to go down the stairs. My sister used to make fun of me because I could walk relatively normal across the room and then I'd automatically turn sideways to go down the steps. :-)
