Hey Peter,
Glad you are seeing real progress with your ankle! You are 100%
right about keeping the joint flexible, there's nothing like a natural
kind of exercise like walking and swimming. Then it's not so much of a
chore.
I need to get a membership at my local Y (I keep saying that but
not following through) so I will have access to a pool Of course I need
to work on the logistics of getting from the car into the water, and
getting back out again when I'm done. Having a leg that's 3" shorter
means it's hard to walk without my elevated shoe - and pools seem to
discourage people wearing shoes in the pool. ;-)

Yeah, stairs really suck when your foot won't bend far enough. The bounce is
irritating and it's uncomfortable. I can force it to normal ROM, so it's
really just a matter of working on it.
Rough ground helps a lot, as it flexes my ankle under pressure. It hurts, but
the more I use it the better.
Even all the standing at a funeral today didn't cause it to swell, maybe I'll
get back to somewhat normal soon!
I'm hoping to get the axle into the VW tomorrow night or Monday -- then it's on
to the temp sensor and thermostat, it takes four miles to get up to operating
temp in 90 degree weather....
