Hi and thank you for your support and extremely good advice. Whenever I thought about "testing" the Step, I saw your email (and others) flash before my eyes.
Totally shocked. The MRI showed nothing. I'm thinking that it could have something to do with the fact that I didn't get it done until nearly a month after it happened and I had been extremely limited as to doing much.
My foot and ankle doctor has recommended new orthotics (I insisted), ankle braces that the hard-core athletes use. I see him again on Monday and I'm betting he'll prescribe physical therapy- we had already talked about it and he is very agreeable to it. Thank God for really good med insurance!!
I did try a modified Tae Bo today and it felt pretty good. I had taped my ankles up really well and focused on every movement carefully. I desperately needed a good sweat. We live at 7800 feet in the really hilly mountains of Colorado so my morning walks are a bit slower- much to my dog's shagrine (he's a Bichon so his shagrine is pretty cute! haha). I'm gonna keep doing Cathe's muscle & core focused workouts- pretty much kept up on those just not as seriously.
The repair people came and fixed my Stairmaster. I tried it for about a minute (still tired from the Tae-bo) and I think it will be a good option. I have decided to stay off the Step until I get the all clear from both Dr. Foot and PT Guru- again- THANK YOU for keeping me in line you PT Goddess- you are an angel! all of you Cathletes are amazing!
Have a super weekend!
Hugs!
