    We’re you refered to physical therapy after breaking your foot? Or are you able to see if insurance will pay because your mobility has been reduced?

    I had several injuries in the military that left me unable to stand, walk, drive a car, or balance for very long. With the help of physical therapy I was eventually able to walk properly, then after some time I was able to take a ride to work a job where I was sometimes sitting but often standing. Eventually I was able to work and exercise enough that I got all my balance and mobility back.

    Having public transit helped me when I still didn’t have enough fine motor control to operate a pedal and brake.

    Not everyone is on the same journey, but please see if you can access physical therapy. Please advocate for not just healing but making yourself whole.
