I forgot to note here that while my knee and foot aren't entirely recovered, they are much better. In the interim, I bought new insoles for all three of the pairs of shoes I wear regularly, plus replacement shoe laces for two of the three, and having those is probably helping, along with the knee and shin healing.
I know I'm doing better because on Wednesday I tried to go to Lizzy's for ice cream, and instead walked to green line B, waited about 15 minutes, then learned they were going to start running shuttle buses instead of trolleys, and walked home, and my knees were OK when I got home. I had taken a naproxen beforehand, because I thought I'd need it.
I tried again on Thursday, and the trains were running, so I walked to the green line; took the train and then a bus to Harvard Square, and walked a few blocks to and from the ice cream shop before getting on a bus home, and that was also fine.
More than fine, I had a cinnamon cone while walking to and waiting for the bus, and I now have four flavors of good ice cream in the freezer. Yesterday I stayed close to home, because I need periodic rest days and was slightly overdue for one.
Also, I'd been worried that even taking a car both ways to the eye doctor on Tuesday, the necessary walking around to and at the office would be a strain, and was feeling fine when I got home. Again, this was after taking a prophylactic naproxen beforehand, rather than waiting for pain., as was Thursday's successful trip to Lizzy's.
