3...2...1...CAST OFF!!!

Groan.  Ok that was bad, but yaaaay!!!

Surgeon has given me the thumbs up to have cast removed and not replace it with an Aircast, so I can now see both legs and feet, hurrah!

He wants to see me in three weeks' time, but thinks I should be walking within two.  Progression should roughly be as follows:

  • stand using crutches
  • stand using crutches with even weight distribution on both legs
  • walk with crutches (imitating movement)
  • walk with crutches and bear full weight
  • walk with one crutch
  • walk unaided
I'll be seeing a physio tomorrow to help me with some exercises and stretches, and will get some photos posted very shortly.
