The yellow band is a strip of silicone (?) rubber that is about 1m long and 100mm wide and very slightly thicker then balloon rubber. It is very wobbly and has huge comedic potential!
I have to exercise while sitting with my legs out stretched on the sofa and with a cushion under my calves and knees.
One of the exercises is to hold onto the ends of the band, with the ball of my foot in it like a stirrup. I am then to point my foot against the pull of the rubber to as much tension as I can manage and repeat 5 times.
The other exercise is to have the stirrup again but to pass the band behind my other foot so that when I pull on the band my feet are pulled towards each other. I then have to rotate my foot outwards against the tension of band 10 times.
That is all I am allowed to do for now, twice a day, along with the stretching exercises. The physio said I she can't offer me any more exercise until the consultant allows me to loose the boot, hence getting the appointment for Friday.
Thank you for the
