Oot ‘n a Boot

If I needed a visual summation of the last six months, this would be it.

Ayup. That’s an orthopedic boot.

I was not in the boot. The Wife was. She has had troublesome ankles her entire life, but this past winter it really started to flare up to the point where she needed medical attention. Medications and physical therapy were up first, as was this big honkin’ spaceman boot.

This did not work.

Enter…orthopedic surgery, six weeks of icing and elevating and not putting any weight on it, and now, finally, physical therapy. She just today got the OK to stop wearing the Big Honkin’ Boot all the time, so for the first time since, I dunno, February, she has two regular shoes on.

This whole ordeal has been a struggle, in a lot of ways, but it was a necessary struggle that will hopefully lead to better days ahead.

And yes, this post was also an excuse to use the fun phrase to make fun of Canadian accents, “oot ‘n a boot”.
