Hey all,
Thought I would check in since it’s been awhile. Like many others, once you get over that initial 6 week hump in your recovery life seems to get back to normal and you tend to forget that just a few short months earlier you were rendered basically helpless!
Right now, I’d say I’m at about 96% for full recovery and don’t often think about my injury unless I am going to physio. Right now, we’re simply working on getting the calf back to full strength which will hopefully be any week now.
For those beginning their journey…hang in there! I promise that as soon as you can ditch the crutches life gets dramatically better quite quickly. Listen to your body and push as hard as you are comfortable doing. I believe I was lucky to be paired with a great ortho as well as great physiotherapist.
I am going to make an effort to come back more often and help others out as I relied on this site heavily for advice, timelines, guidelines…etc.

It’s helpful to just read some positives, especially if your rounding 5 weeks still NWB. It sounds like you are making great progress with your recovery to.
Hang in there kkirk! It will get better and recovery will begin accelerating for you shortly!
Good to see you are still around and continuing with a strong recovery - keep going, grat news that your calf is nearly back to full strength, I am struggling a bit but nothing serious, just a bit slower than I wanted - as long as each weeks continues with improvements no matter how small - it’s all good.
Don’t be a stranger Eva and happy recoveries all
