Results: Life Goals?

Since being diagnosed with Charcot Foot (a long term complication from Diabetes) 5 years ago and ending up in a wheelchair and unable to work, my goal in life is to save my foot and my leg from amputation. After 21 months in a complete contact cast, I am in the process of getting my "Crow Walker Boot" to work for me. The first one did not work at all and we kept cutting it down until it was useless and we wasted $2500.00 and 2 years. The second one fit and I was able to get it on and wear it for one day, very comfortably. I couldn't believe it after all the trouble we had with the last one, however my leg keeps swelling and I can't get it on. I have to keep trying because it is the only thing that is going to allow me to walk again and for my foot not to relapse and degrade further. The podiatrist gave me compression stockings on Monday and they are working well and bringing the swelling down, and I am hoping by the time I go for my appointment to the Orthopedic Surgeon next Friday, the swelling will be down enough to get the boot back on. Then we will see what else I can do to keep the swelling down and wear the boot on a daily basis. It is hard work and I have to be patient and diligent if I want to have success with this difficult life goal.
