Five weeks in cast, three to go
I went for my four week post-op visit and they finally took the hard cast off. I don’t envy anyone in one of those. Thank God I can take a shower and get everything wet. My doc said the wound healed very well and he put me in a walking boot cast with dials on the side.Look like Herman Munster.( See pictures.) Each week I crank up the dial one notch. I start in a toe pointing down position and will enventually end up with a foot in a 90 degree angle. I still have to use crutches and the knee walker. The doc wants very little weight on the foot.He don’t want the tendon to detach. I can’t wait to get a regullar sneaker on. How painful is physical therapy. Am I going to be in more pain. I just want to be able to go shopping for myself. Depending on people is a B—h. I have the grocery store deliver, since I can’t push a cart with crutches. Has anyone flown with their cast and crutches. I want to get away for a while. How is it sitting for 2 -3 hours with your foot down. Is it worth it?Â
