I have to admit that I really thought that by now I would be able to put weight on my ankle, but alas, that it is not the case. The good news is that I am making progress. This week, the swelling has really gone down as has the pain level. Those improvements have lead to more ankle and foot mobility which is wonderful. Rehab is painful, but progress is being made.

Due to the pain and meds, I’m not really able to focus on reading which is my normal go-to when I’m sick and not able to do anything.
