Down for the count for a couple months

Just be smart and careful when you get back to it.

Good advice. I will try, but I tend to go all in all the time. My daughter describes me as go and go faster. I suspect the muscle atrophy will be significant so that will slow me down Too. Time will tell

Glad surgery went well. Now it's just that time and pain and gain time. Take your time and don't over do it.

Updates: Surgery was Tuesday. Went well, doc was happy with his work. Feels better now with the bones secured with the plate and screws. Pain is lower now too so long as I keep my foot above my heart. Sitting and walking are not comfortable. Should have the splint off and stiches out in 2 weeks, then its a cast for 4 more weeks, then I can put weight on it and begin to walk. Feels like time has stopped.

This totally f’ed Valentine’s Day and our anniversary. We usually go out and enjoy an evening. So feeling some guilt there for sure.

Oh so did I mention that my foot surgery was on our 20th year anniversary and we were supposed to be on the beach in Florida (10 days)..... we “did” have dinner reservations at an on beach place....not sure this helps you feel better but I can honestly say I feel for ya!

atrophy will not be your friend now that you are older....use your go and go fast in PT and the more you keep your foot above your heart the better! Like I said I tried to rush it and I PAID for it!

It helps to hear this happens to others. I am expecting slower recovery than when I was 22.

as this starts to wrap up I’ll book us a trip someplace and make it up to her. my wife love to celebrate all holidays and thus makes this harder for her.

I will definitely try to not overdo it.

Glad it went well. I'm impatient, but be patient. Really got no choice. Keep us updated on your progress.

I have zero patience. Well known by those close to me. This sitch has only one option. Slow it on down, sit down, and wait it out.

You have any interest in play video games. It what got me through my shoulder surgeries.

Totally understand. I've been avoiding a right hip replacement for almost 2 years. My mindset is if I can function at least 75% of normal, I won't get it. If I become immobilized, I'll go asap. You seem to understand and no doubt will do the right thing to heal asap.

I'm with you, little patience. Had a hard time after my back surgery. Thank God the Dr. ordered walking shortly after. At least I could get out of the house and check out the birds and wildlife.
