Finally…2 months Post-Op and the Cast is Removed
My 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” !!!

Love this post. Good on you for knowing your own body. I felt guilty at first for ignoring my doctor’s orders, but the reality is that I feel better.
If i were you, I would ease the brace off during the next couple of weeks.
Congrats and enjoy your cast-free days.

I’ve been on the “Get out the boot when you are in a safe environment” plan. It’s amazing how many places I’ve deemed “safe” since that visit! Good for you and happy Hot Tubbing!

Good Job! 8 weeks is long enough in a cast. Now you will have to spend the next 8 days removing dead skin. Good Luck the rest of the way
