6 months post-op, moving right along
I hit six months yesterday post-op after a right ATR and celebrated by walking six miles. My foot does still swell here and there, especially after walking on uneven surfaces, but I am generally without a limp and able to bike a lot and hike on trails a little bit. I saw a guy at PT who is eight weeks post-op and was reminded of how far away that seems now. I gave him as much encouragement as I could, as I remember those days well (and some of you are in the midst of them now, I know!). It does feel like things are starting to move faster, and I often forget about the injury now, an encouraging sign.
Next week I plan to go whitewater kayaking for the first time…it will be mentally tough, I think, but physically I’m given the green light by my OS and PT.
Everybody hang in there and try to stay positive!
