PT

First PT session.  They're already planning to ask the VA for an extension.  I guess they figure its going to take us more than 8 sessions to get from here to there.  My whole body is achey tonight, but it felt good to move things again.  Still no dorsi flexion, but plantar has returned to nearly normal.  My 'good' knee is a swollen unhappy camper.  Not injured per se, just exhausted.  Trying to weight bear with crutches has made life harder for it the past few weeks.  Not fully weight bearing.  PT did say I could transition out of the Frankenstein boot whenever I wanted, as long as OK with my doc.  So I came home and put the darn thing in the closet.   It doesn't encourage me to use dorsi flexion, and wasn't relieving any pain I could notice.  Transition complete.  Still using knee walker at work, because I'm useless on crutches.  I save them for weekends and off time.  Coming along slower than I'd hoped, obviously, but not surprisingly so.  It does improve incrementally every day.  Still hoping to be down to a cane by July 4th weekend.  Just my own personal carrot.
