My biggest issues are my toes and the incredibly annoying itch. My toes go very numb and feel like I’ve been out into snow.The moon boot isn’t too type, I don’t think that the bandage is too tight because it wriggles around a bit when I’m putting on or taking off my cast protector to shower.
I open up the moon boot so my heel is still protected but my toes get some fresh air during the day. No moving though! I just have to focus on the itching being a sign of healing but it is very distracting.
I’ve made an effort to escape from the house. Friday was a lovely day and I really wanted to be out in it so I set myself the challenge of getting to my local cafe. If I couldn’t make it back then I’d just have to Uber.
We have a very steep driveway:
It doesn’t look it in the photo but it was like climbing a very steep mountain. I
used my knee crutch and both of my elbow crutches to walk because I didn’t want to have my foot slip and have a disaster. So looking like something a kin to a praying mantis I walked 1.5km to my local cafe.
Once I’d filled up on yummy sticky black rice and tea, I actually felt quite confident on achieving the return trip.

I made it back alive and well. Hurray. I feel much healthier and I was making goals to help me move through my recovery mentally and physically well.
