Walking Boots

Back in 2003 when I was living in Roseville, CA, I tore my Achilles tendon playing flag football .  The surgery to repair it went well, and so did the physical therapy.  

Every once in awhile my Achilles tendon would swell up and I'd have to put on a walking boot again to stabilize it until the swelling goes down.  

Well, it's swelling up again...and I pulled out my boot to wear.  On the one hand, I hate hobbling around in it even though I'm getting a lot of sympathy looks.  

But on the other hand, I'm grateful that I have this medical tool to help me with the healing process.
