I continue to ice my foot leaving little wet patches wherever I have been with the ice.  The sharp pain has dissipated and I walk very short distances without my crutches. I am more aware of an ache when I stand or walk for too long below and around my wound. I am keenly aware that Mr Kriss had suggested that I might be able to be walking without crutches by now but that seems a long way away. However the really extreme pain that I was having is only there occasionally. I am trying to take the view that if I improve in the next week at the same rate that I have improved in the last week, I will be in quite good shape.
