6 week update

I am encouraged and cocerned at the same time. I am FWB with out support around the house. The knee walker/roller was a big plus on vacation last week through the airports/going to the park etc. The incision looks the same and you can not tell I had a second surgery. I am doing my exercises consistently - using my cell phone to set alarms daily at different times. Just started with the resistance band going slowly. I have an appt. with PT who is reported to be the local Guru on foot and leg injuries.

My conern is the strange feeling in the pad of my foot - numb like. I also had surgery on the same foot to screw my 5th metatarusal together and also fractured the toe next to in - both in the last 2 years. I have continued pain in my heel like the last time. I know I should not wear flip flops, but the Croc ones have the best padding in the heel. I have been walking around the house without my boot some, being very careful.

I want to start riding the bike soon. Even chipping and putting a little bit. Hitting drivers off my knee has been a good drill without putting any pressure on my leg. I have it mastered almost now - almost always straight - about 225. Hope I can hit it that straight when I can go standing up.

Virutally no directions from my doc. I have an appt on the 29th. I am sure he will say, looks great - keep it up. That’s what he said last time and then I entered the 2x club that afternoon.
