Hi there,

The air boot is to try and normalise your gait before you start walking without any support. Dependent on symptoms and pain I would not suggest getting into any forma strengthening exercises until you see your surgeon but suggest gentle range of movement exercises would be sufficient. Thinks like
- Ankle movements up, down, side to side
- Toe curling and extending

Until you get the full clearance to full weight bear I would suggest taking it easy. Your surgeon doesnt sound very clear so I would err on the side of caution and ease back into things subject to your symptoms/ pain levels. i,e, if its painful to walk on it then dont.

Hope that helps.
