I’m Free!!
Yesterday, exactly 14 weeks after surgery for a full ATR, I was released from Physical therapy.
My PT has determined that I have met all of my goals and there is nothing that we can work on together, that I can’t do by myself at home.
My range of motion is only off 1 or 2 degrees from my good foot, I can balance one legged for an extended amount of time on the squishy pad, and am walking 3 miles a couple of times a week (going to bump it up to 4 this weekend).
I still swell up, get stiff and achy and my one legged heel lifts are not very good (but my tip toe walking is going well). But, these are things that are just going to take time and work at home.
In a couple of weeks, I will see my surgeon for the final evaluation. I’m sure he will release me from care also.
I hope I never see the inside of that clinic again.
