The ATR learning curve

On 19 August returned to the fracture clinic to be fitted with what I hoped was to be my last cast at that sought after 90 degrees. I was actually fitted with a boot so wasn’t actually prepared for getting my leg back! Think I am quite far along the recovery journey to have a boot as alot of you seem to get them pretty early on. But hey, very welcome all the same - whilst looking forward to washing my leg etc I was also so scared at my leg being free - have been used to protection of cast for 10 weeks! My leg just feels so weak and looks so small and thin although now I’m crutch free (and I may be imagining it) - but am sure it has already started to get a bit bigger - does this happen? . I’ve been told not to mobilise my foot at all outside the boot apart from wiggling my toes but its tempting to try! Is so good to read all your blogs as I really feel you don’t get told much by doctors. I always come away having forgotten to ask at least 2 questions I intended to!
