    You will be fine. Foot will have a lot of dead skin on it. Just get a little bit off at a time. Follow physios instructions and you'll make progress quickly. Most people get back to as close to normal as they can quite quickly. Even with my complications I can walk. Dont be too hard on yourself.

    Glad to read that!

    All will be fine, don't let the end of day swelling scare but do start out slow.
