I was somewhat discouraged after this morning's doctor appointment, but for no apparent reason, as you'll find out if you read on.
I got the okay from my doctor to begin bearing weight on my foot, but it's going to be a slow, gradual process. I should start by doing heel taps and forming the letters of the alphabet with my foot. By the end of this week, I should be bearing 25% of my weight, adding 25%/week. By April 8th, my next doctor appointment, I should be at 100%.
Following this period, two to three weeks of rehab to strengthen my posterior tib tendon should be enough.
In the meantime, I got the okay to bike, but since NEOPS lost the impression for my orthotic, I can't start right away. My doctor instructed me to use the orthotic when biking.
When asked if I had a goal race in mind, I said yes, the LHRR on June 8th. BIG MAYBE. Late-July or early-August is more realistic.
