I should be reading the comments before adding my two cents, but alas I haven't. (My own adaptive arrangements put me three feet from the monitor, which is challenging with cataracts.)
Incapacitating injuries are the pits, and your boot sounds nasty. To the extent that you can manage it, consider yourself someone who needs to spend most of her time with her foot elevated and avoid the boot as much as possible (assuming the Trained Professionals are okay with it). The boot is the device to allow you to clump to the bathroom or from one room to another. Otherwise, the pillow-on-chair construction is your friend.
Your travails with boot comfort are a different order of magnitude but a similar family as my "I can't keep this @#$%!! compression bandage from sliding down my leg!" annoyance. I've ditched the compression bandage in favor of tight leggings and an actual bandage for the epic blister (which popped last night, leaving me with a 2"-wide open sore).
I love your cats. They're so sensible in their reactions to the Robot Foot of Doom. If I were a cat I'd be extremely chary of something big and clunky that could Step On Me.
