WHO WEARS BOOTS IN THE SUMMER?!?!?:day 20/365

to answer that question......Obviously.....I do....And I will continue to. I have to get my ankle tendon repaired. I have a longitudinal tear in my tendon. The doctor says that the only two options are to immobilize (which hasn't worked) or to do surgery. It has been being immobilized and it doesn't feel any better and the swelling isn't going down!Surgery is scheduled for July 19th....8 AM check-in. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I am excited that my ankle is finally getting fixed, but I am nervous because....it is surgery! Ultimately though.....from everything we have been reading, the surgery is successful! It will be 6 weeks of recovery; three on crutches and 3 in a walking boot.....hence, wearing a boot in the summer! Here are a few pictures about the journey to surgery! The first is the brace I got in Branson, second is the tape, and lastly is the boot!
