Thanks TJ and Doc!!
My concern is about pain.
There is still something else going on in my foot - pain along the top, outside edge of the fifth metatarsal. (Ortho thinks this might be a peroneal tendon thing.) And, more disturbingly, an occasional pain along the line about the joints of the 3rd-5th metatarsals with the lateral cuneiform and cuboid.
I can't tell if it's the fx (as it's close by) or something else. So, I'm favoring the fx idea... which has me freaked out and not wanting to do much of anything. Wondering - Is this thing healing? Have I broken it again? Have I undone the last 4 weeks in a cast, back to square one?
(Meanwhile, all I've done since the aircast came off is walk about my daily life [very small ranch house, occasional errands] in a very, very, very stiff-soled shoe.)
Nevertheless... I'm planning to let pain (and prudence) by my guide. And, if, when the time comes to start "running" again, I have any doubt, I will see my doctor again.
I'm a week out from running. Right now, I'm thinking I'll go out in my x-country flats (thinnest shoes I have outside of VFFs, ZEMs, and aqua socks) - there's a bit more heel than I'd like, but almost everything has some sort of heel.
