It's been a while

A quick update:

• On Wednesday, March 2, I decided to try wearing a shoe for a couple of hours, so I did.
• On Thursday morning (March 3) I decided to try wearing a real shoe for a couple more hours. I haven't worn the boot since.
• On Friday I was on the elliptical trainer for 45 minutes and my left foot didn't bother me. My right foot's usual problem (pain under the 2nd IMPJ) did crop up, however. I must say that it's very frustrating to trade one pain for another. After Friday evening's workout I was limping on both feet, which was upsetting.
• On Saturday I did some walking on the beaches of the Washington coast.
• On Sunday I did some kayaking on Green Lake (Seattle).

Today at Physical Therapy, Andy asked when I can try running. He was surprised that I was supposed to wait until May. So he's going to call the doctor to see if we can do that earlier. That's some pretty good news.
