Moon boot adjusted

Ok so now I am exactly 8 weeks post surgery. I have been wearing a boot for over a week and decided to get it adjusted so that my foot would be a little flatter. The stretches recommended by the physio has obviously done the trick because they adjusted my boot to 90 degrees.  I got a shock when I got up though. Suddenly I felt like I did 10 days ago when the boot was first fitted. Felt like I had very little strength in my foot (which is true) and it is definitely pulling.  After an hour or so I've been able to do a bit more, but I do feel vulnerable again. Still other than my physio appointment next week I don't need to go back until after Christmas now.

First viva

Still unfit for work at 7.5 weeks post surgery. Trying to do stretches 3-4 times a day. Yesterday was a PhD viva. I was the internal examiner. I decided not to cancel and to go in. Georgina dropped me off outside my building. I was surprised what a struggle everything was - I'm used to the environment at home. Still it was nice to get into my office. I sort of felt embarrassed about my situation - on crutches etc.

I had a good 10 minute walk to Engineering, this was harder than I expected. Meal with the examiner. Then viva. It took about 2.5 hours to complete. Quite tiring....but the candidate did well. It was the first time I have been the examiner of a PhD.

Afterwards my leg felt sore. Can't decide if it's the Scar tissue or tendon that's sore. So today I intend to rest at home. I want to get more mobility as soon as possible but not at the cost of coming close to injurying myself.
