Ready to Test the Ankle

I talked to my physical therapist today about when I'd be done coming to therapy and get back to working out. He gave me the go ahead to start trying step aerobics, etc. again and if I feel o.k. then my two appointments next week could be my last therapy appointments. I felt great at the visit today and really aced the balance exercises he had me doing. He tried harder ones and I still did pretty well. Of course, after all that ankle work I came home and my ankle was sore. I'm hoping that's just because I worked really hard on it. I thought about going ahead and trying some step this afternoon, but ended up taking a nap instead. Hey, don't laugh--I'm still a little sick. I put Ewan down for a nap and decided I needed a rest myself.

I hope to get up and do something tomorrow, but I'm going to make myself ease back into it--I won't start with my toughest workouts, especially since I've been on almost total rest for a week and a half. Maybe tomorrow I'll try some kind of cardio & weights circuit workout--I have a new Kelly Coffey-Meyer one I haven't tried yet or maybe Cathe's Low Impact Circuit. Then Friday I hope to go back to the yoga class and I might try something else later that afternoon. Of course, I'm still not 100% healthy so i know I should be careful with it. If this feels o.k. with my ankle, I might start Cathe's Nov. '07 rotation next week.
