Dealing with a Jones Fracture

So I had my appointment today and was told to keep wearing the boot for two more weeks, then they set me up with another appointment for in four weeks. I'm hoping that's the last one I need. I've been walking and putting weight on my foot for the last two weeks, and as long as it's in the boot it's not too bad, other than the heel needing padding that will last more than a day or two. I need to get some nicer insoles or something. Maybe my heel would stop getting sore so much with that. The blister that was on the back of my heel from the cast is pretty much gone, so the sore heel is from putting weight on it. Occasionally at home I walk around barefoot a bit, but I always put the boot on for going to work and other places. I started back at work a couple days after I started walking on my foot again, and the boot keeps it protected and supported while I'm dealing with kids all the time. I've even been able to pick up and carry kids around at work thanks t...

It's been a bit over two weeks since my last appointment, so I'm allowed to start putting weight on my foot now, when in the boot and/or on crutches. I'm glad to see that even though I just started putting weight on my foot this week, as long as I'm wearing the boot and a shoe that has roughly the same height of heel, I can hobble around okay without crutches. It will still take some time to get back to normal walking and activity, but at least there's decent progress. My foot has been somewhat sore the last few days, probably because I've gone about four weeks without walking on it and suddenly I'm using it again. I've been trying to limit how much I walk for now so I don't do too much at once, and resting and elevating it when I can. I've got another appointment in two weeks, so we'll see what the doctor says then. I'm hoping with how much mobility I'm regaining that I won't have to worry about going to physical therapy. I...
