Very sorry to hear about your injury :(...Hi Kacee!<br /><br />Very sorry to hear about your injury :( I know it can feel like the end of the world, but I assure you it isn't.<br /><br />My PT was Stephanie at the IHC Physical therapy clinic in Holladay. Dr. Van Boerum sent me to her as the Lisfranc specialist, and I think she was affiliated with TOSH at some point. I have no idea if she is still there or not, but we were best buds for a while, and she was fabulous.<br /><br />I still think about my foot everyday, and on some level I have a little pain each day (mainly just first waking up in the morning or after a long day on my feet). It's my new normal and I've long forgotten how my right foot used to feel before my injury, and I've grown to love my new foot as it is!<br /><br />After 2 years, things are pretty good I'd say. Way better than I thought it would be. I did Ragnar in November in Vegas (ran about 13 miles) and I am hiking every weekend; going to Dog Lake up Big Cottonwood this Sunday. I hit the gym pretty regularly, and while there are things that still bother me (doing box jumps / jump rope / pretty much anything with a lot of jumping lol) but for the most part I am able to do what I was able to. I still don't feel that I am back to my same level as I was before, but I'm also older and took a lot of time off from exercising and being fit, so it is coming back with time. I strength train, hike, run occasionally - mostly just 5ks or the occasional 10k, do bootcamp classes, yoga, spin... I'm great at modifying if I don't feel comfortable doing something.<br /><br />Good luck on your prognosis - let me know what the Dr. says!CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192080151319784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1521063874597150593.post-61560045471076370482017-07-06T19:30:43.327-06:002017-07-06T19:30:43.327-06:00Hey there, I sustained a lisfranc injury and am wa...Hey there, I sustained a lisfranc injury and am waiting to hear if I need surgery or not. Who is the physical therapist you went to in Holladay? I live in Salt Lake City. Thanks! Also, how has your injury healed after about 2 years?? I am also very active and would love to know if you are back to doing all the activities you love!<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796662732420234046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1521063874597150593.post-1304204929237905812015-09-02T16:53:11.929-06:002015-09-02T16:53:11.929-06:00I survived with him gone, but was definitely glad ...I survived with him gone, but was definitely glad to have him home. In PT, the therapist showed me how to safely make it up the stairs so I could sleep in my bed at night. She said to just manage once up at night then once down in the morning. Let me tell you, it was wonderful to sleep in my bed with my hubby. He is leaving once again to drive about 7 hours to go visit his mom this Labor Day weekend. She just had hip replacement and he feels he should go. I think for me a 7 hour road trip would not work for me right now. However, my mom is about 2 1/2 hours from me, so my daughter is willing to drive me and I am considering going to visit her. Trying to decide if it is wise on my part to attempt that right nowLugeanbeal'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510887123785858251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1521063874597150593.post-30203058073691772192015-09-02T14:27:15.639-06:002015-09-02T14:27:15.639-06:00Yay!

I think it definitely helps us see the light at the end of the tunnel and that walking will be happening in the near future. That desire to walk pushes me through all the pain and sadness I feel about muscle weakness and atrophy. It's only been a week since I started doing the exercises and my range of motion has really improved. I am jealous of the bike. I used to go to Spin class every week and I sure do miss that!<br /><br />How did you do with the hubby out of town?<br /><br />Glad to hear about your progress!CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192080151319784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1521063874597150593.post-4631178725381152322015-09-02T08:21:18.773-06:002015-09-02T08:21:18.773-06:00Sweet that you have started PT.

I started PT with the ankle pumps, leg raises, some short quad kicks, quad stretches- and was shown how to do the stationary bike for some cardio. I was really saddened by the low flexibility in my ankle. Desiring to walk is a motivating factor to doing the exercises for sure.
