Good News Day! Walking with both shoes!!

[sandyut]

got released from the boot this morning. has been about 9 weeks since the accident, just under 8 since surgery. healing well, x-rays look good. wearing both shows and walking...slowly. feels pretty good, a little, sore, but good.

No PT. Been on the spin bike for an hour a day for almost 3 weeks now. Ortho says that made all the difference in the recovery.

Gonna take it easy for a while and try not to break myself.

you know it brother! Happy it was a boot this time. previous two ankle breaks were fiberglass casts for 8-9weeks. those are just nasty!

Thanks Brian!

Starting to think I may need the bubble wrap suit...never thought I was accident prone but that feeling is getting stronger.

sandyut , that is great news to hear! Hopefully you can take it easy a bit longer and relax it. You know with a nice long cook! (And a comfy chair)

 

[Winterrider]

That's good news. Don't get too carried away just because it is feeling good, we all tend to do that.

A man who knows. my left knee is sore and just about everything else. they are too tall to balance the hips and back, which gets you into an f'ed up gate.

Just walking straight and not flailing all over feels good!

 

[seenred]

Good news for sure, David!

Now if memory serves, didn't you say this was a skiing accident? And it was your second bad accident on skis? Might be time to stay off the Diamond slopes LOL!!
