Note
A significant walk today, much longer than yesterday but not at all brisk. I have after all got a cough.
Ankle felt great to begin with, a bit tired after a couple of km though. We'll see how it reacts to this.

Balancing 20:00 [0]
Strength Training 14:30 [0]
Decided that my cough wasn't anywhere serious enough to stop me from rehabbing my ankle and that the walk earlier hadn't already used up all of my ankle energy for today. Came to this conclusion after kicking a football around the garden with significantly better coordination and less pain than doing the same on Monday.
I think it's important to remember this - that throughout the entire period since I stopped using the immobilisation boot it's ALWAYS been so up and down. So when it is good don't assume that some significant amount of progress has been made and when it is bad don't assume that the surgery must have been unsuccessful, especially when turning bad back into good can be something as simple as 10 minutes of treatment by the physio.
Anyway did a lot of balancing including more time on the new one-legged balance/core exercises. Plus lots of strength work too, added dorsi/plantar flexion thera-band exercises to the usual inversion/eversion sets.
