Balance

Played hookey from ROM and weight bearing yesterday.  Heel pins just too sore to want to move anything.  Today played hookey from work so I could concentrate on ROM and weight bearing.  Bottom line is, think I overdid it this weekend.  Trying to find balance between normal activities and extra rest; and between taking or not taking pain meds.  I suppose by the time the hamster cage comes off, I'll have it all figured out.  ROM did improve today, so yesterday's hiatus might have been a good thing.  Up to @1.75-2" total movement measured against the hinge rod.  Not normal, but moving smoother and improving steadily.  Think body still needs several hours down time couple of times a day.  I tend to forget that riding in a car or being on the scooter counts as activity because the foot is down, not elevated and resting.  Just as being at work, even if sitting with the foot propped, isn't the same as being at home with it elevated.  Another doc appt. and injection tomorrow.  Only counting how many injections are left - not how many days in Hamsterville - yet.
