:jig: I went outside this morning and walked all over the yard doing my chores (including pruning the bushes around the sat. dish again) WITHOUT MY AFO!! No Problems! When I came back inside, I didn't have to retrain my ankle to not crumble under and could just keep on walking (the AFO weakens the ankle). My foot doesn't hurt and I feel great! Gracie accompanied me meowing all the way....talk about encouragement! What a great start to the week! :thumbsu:
