    Thanks, shantell03710. Only people who have went through this understand. A friend of mine that used to work as a nurse said you probably just slept wrong!

      So true! Hey I go for my final x ray check up today, week 11. Things are even going better then last week. I no longer walk with any limp. And just a week or so I was so worried. Basically the PT just focused on some harder foot strenghtenin exercises. So Also did anybody hear about that if you go to the dentist for anything that we should be on antibiotics? I am asking about that today however I heard that from 2 dental assistants.

    So the Dr. said that I do not need antibiotics for teeth cleaning. It is only if someone had ankle replacement surgery. He was fine with me starting to run and predicted I would be fine for the 1/2 marathon in a little over 5 months. So I went right to a park and did 30 minutes of 30 second walk/jog intervals. I felt great. It was a little tight, but not much and loosened up. For the walking parts I did not even feel it. Thank goodness I stuck to that because I feel it a little bit now that I'm done it. But it doesn't feel like much and hopefully it won't blow up. I won't change the intervals until I do it a few times first. I know myself and I will work hard to not overdo it. Or else I will pay the price. I have one PT left only because I scheduled it. But I will be done with that. I will keep doing the exercises and ask them for harder ones I can move up too for the future. Overall it was one of those great days which have been happening more.
