Kind of cleared!!

Went to the OS for my follow up today and it went very well!  Plantar flexion listed at 40 degrees and dorsal past neutral  "Walked" of gimped without crutches the whole time.  They were actually impressed with the progress as I am only about 10-11 weeks post surgical date.

Infection seems cleared up as well.

Only restrictions for work are no prolonged walking or standing for more than 2 more hours without a rest break and allowing for leg eleveation (doing so without Dr approval might look insubordinate in my line of work).

PT is continuing and advised to begin resistance/strength training.  Feeling pretty good about things today!

    Great news! Glad your recovery is progressing well. I think we both had surgery the same day (3/10/14). I just started 2-shoes on Tuesday–2-shoes at home, boot away for next 2 weeks. I’m working on my 2-shoes gait now–still a little gimpy, but getting better each day (with a 2-day sample set!). -David
