Had a check-up with the orthopedist today.  He said he sees progress which is WONDERFUL news.  He said I only need to wear the brace

outside the house when I am walking any distance (it was causing the tendonitis to go OFF when I was wearing it all the time).  He also said in 2-3 weeks (Nancy reads it as TWO!), I can start to put a bit of weight on the leg, and can start to water walk in chest high water. 

Good news!

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
