first visit / two weeks post op.
went to the fracture clinic this morning , was slightly worried as i slipped last night and put full weight on my foot , intense pain and skin around staples were red ,hot and swollen ……. trust me . saw dr khan who checked my scar and said all was looking good and the staples could come out!!!!!! the nurse was fantastic , felt slight pin pricks , she redressed my leg and thr doctor said 3 more weeks of no weight bearing then he will start to ajust the angle of my cam boot . i can see this is going to be a long process but little steps (pardon the pun) and ill get their in the end . also went off to tesco s to have a spin on the mobility scooter….. high light of my week !!!!!!!!

Good news. You seem to have a positive attitude and a sense of humour - that’ll help big time in the weeks to come! I found the first 2 weeks were rough, but once you settle in, time really flies. Before you know it you’ll be dancing like that michael flatley!

Yes, great attitude..you’re on your way.
withnail - careful about prescribing dancing….some of us ruptured while dancing - specifically Van Halen’s “Jump” in my Prom Dress from HS (I just had my 20 year reunion).
Just having fun….can’t WAIT to dance again. but I’ll be much more respectful of my feet/lets next time!
