What to do while in a boot?



Recommended Posts

So, I was getting in a good groove - Pilates Sunday, personal trainer Monday, walking or bike Tuesday-Thursday, and some sort of just walking around Saturday. But I fell on Thursday and broke a toe (maybe 2) on my left foot and exacerbated and old stress fracture and likely tore something on my right foot. I'm in a boot on my right and have to wear Tevas on my left to allow for the taping and swelling on the broken toe. So, none of my current exercise routine works for me for about a month. Anyone have any suggestions of what I can do? I don't know that I really need it to be good exercise. I more just want something to keep me doing something so that I am still in the habit when I'm cleared to exercise again.

Thanks!

Ask for PT. They'll set you up for exercises that continue to work on your core while you heal then will work with you to redevelop your food. Sorry about the fall!!

Thanks - I hadn't thought of that. I'll call my doc on Wednesday and see if I can get a referral.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
