Dr. Shanfield removed my shoe for me and demonstrated how the boot goes on. He carefully strapped my leg in and then helped me to my feet. "Now, this doesn't mean you can stop icing your leg and just pretend everything is fine. This is to prevent future problems from arising. Wear it when you go out for at least the next week. If you have time, come see me next week." He looked to Zeke. "Make sure he puts ice on at least twenty minutes every couple of hours. Rest is important and elevate the leg whenever he's sleeping or watching TV."
"I understand." Zeke nodded. He looked at me. "Try to walk with the boot."
I obeyed and tried to move around the room with my leg bundled up. It was like a removable cast. But...doable. My leg still hurt and was super sore. I gave Zeke a thumbs up sign.
"When can he return to baseball activities?" Zeke asked.
