Finally…2 months Post-Op and the Cast is Removed
June 10th, 2008My conservative Doc and PA finally removed my cast yesterday after 8 long weeks…
However, they were quite surprised/shocked by how good everything looked including my ROM…Of course I neglected to tell him I was on my own “accelerated” plan…I started PWB 1 week post-op…I was FWB by week 4…I constantly exercised (the old foot pedal deal) and wiggled within my cast for 8 weeks…I am quite sure my accelerated plan helped with the favorable results so far…
I also found that a “moderate micro-brew therapy” is quite helpful…
I was now told that I needed to be in an air-cast brace for 4-6 more weeks while walking…And of course I cannot legally drive in NYS with a cast/brace on…
However I am sure I will somehow “accelerate” the latest time-table also…
I FINALLY will get to settle into my Hot Tub tonight…
And to steal a line from William Wallace and Craig…”FREEDOM” !!!
