Start prepping for the victory lap…err…limp!
Hi everyone,
Week 10 post-surgery started on Sunday and today I saw the surgeon for my 3rd appointment. I’ve been in a walking book since week 2 with no PT. Things went well and I now have clearance for 2 shoes in the house (boot still when outside) with crutches at first and work towards ditching them in a week. Driving can resume around the time I can walk again comfortably. Was referred to the hospital’s physio department but they have a wait-list and I may not get in for several weeks…was told to go a private clinic to get started and was given some exercises to start on 2x/day. It took a while to ease the right shoe on, and the steps are slow and cautious, but hey, matching shoes!
All the best,
Moms “owie”
Congratulations! What size wedge are you wearing in the shoe?

Hobblit,
No wedges - straight into running shoes (well, about 5 minutes struggling to loosen laces, etc. to slip into the shoe). Making progress though and I was able to walk two shoes using only one crutch after one day.
