So you know how when you're injured, doctors remind you of the R-I-C-E principle (rest, ice, compression, elevation)? Well, after I took the tape off a few weeks back, I managed to forgot to put the compression bandage back on. So all this time I wondered why my foot was so swollen when in reality I was not following orders.
A few days ago, I decided to wrap my foot up nice and snug and keep it elevated during the day. What a world of difference that made. My foot almost looks normal again, and I gained some range of motion.
I'm also doing good with the calf machine. I can press up to 30 lbs now on the bad leg, compared to 80 lbs on the good leg. When I try to stand on my toes, I can almost feel some movement down there, which didn't happen a while ago. So things are looking good.
