The foot and ankle specialist diagnosed me with Post Tibial Tendon Dysfunction and has put forth a healing regimen that could take up to six months. And the first part of it is....bed rest. A good friend of mine has often shaken his head and told me I'm an absolutely terrible and stubborn patient. But this time, I'm determined to behave myself. I've tried to push through, and it's obviously not working.

So, I'm to sit here and do nothing for two entire weeks and close to nothing on the third week, at which time I return to see if I'm freed from the prison of my bed and sectional sofa. I have a hefty brace on my ankle that is to be worn any time I'm not sleeping or in the shower. At the risk of sounding like a whiner, as a go-go-go person, sit-sit-sitting is really difficult for me. But it's either comply with these instructions or end up having major surgery, which includes a cast for months and even more time sit-sit-sitting.

Does this mean I have to throw my hands up in the air and cast all prepping aspirations to the wind? Absolutely not. This article is about seven things I'm doing to increase my preparedness - and you can too - if I can't be up and actively prepping.

What are your thoughts? Have you ever been immobile for a while? Do you think it's possible to prep when you can't be active? How did you spend your time? What ways were you able to become better prepared when you weren't able to get outside and do your normal tasks?

Let's talk about it in the comments section.
