The first 2 weeks my son was here and he was great companion & help to me!

Now to answer your ?s -- I live in a one story villa house.

I am able to do anything but I will say the boot is heavy and cumbersome.  I food shopped (I'm alone) before he left so I stocked up.  My friends have been great if I needed anything or ride to drs (which is every week).

I don't know about doing steps or how your balance is.  I know I'm counting the days til I don't have to wear it because it does throw my balance off a bit mainly because it's bigger than a shoe, of course.

I couldn't shower the first couple of days but I bought a boot style shower leg cover that worked perfectly since I didn't need to wear the boot while showering or sleeping.

I do my own housecleaning and I've been fine.  The boot has only impacted that I can't drive until my foot is healed.  I hope this helps.

@homedecor1   Thank you so much for your reply.  I don't have anybody who could help me post surgery so I'd have to hire an outside caregiver.

Now that I know how you've managed post-surgery I will be able to make a much more informed decision about whether the surgery is worth it for me, or not.

Many thanks, again!
