Own your Objective…

Well, after the last post I’ve come a long way.  I’m 15 weeks along now.  Seems like the first 6 weeks after surgery took forever.  Then after that it picked up pace.  I don’t know how everybody else’s recovery has went but mine hasn’t been that much out of the ordinary or at least what I would expect to be ordinary.  At two weeks the surgeon checked me out again.  Pretty swollen but he assured me everything looked great.  After that visit my only real problem began.  I had some parts of my incision that didn’t get enough circulation, so some of the skin died.  That just made it a pain later on when I had shoes and socks on.  After that all my check ups went great.  At 6 weeks I was PWB and by the end of 7 I was able to put all my weight on my foot.  I then began PT at 8 weeks which I think has been a blessing.  Now 7 weeks into that I can see real progress.  My range of motion is back to within a couple degrees of my good leg.  Only real issue is strength in my calf muscle.  If it wasn’t for that then I guess I’d be done with PT.  As of now, they won’t let me I can do 10 full extension calf raises on my bad leg.  Hope to be doing that within the next couple weeks so I can start running and exercising again.  These 15 lbs I’ve added have to go.  Funny how the healing process goes.  The first two weeks I lost a bunch of weight because I couldn’t get up and feed myself easily.  Now, that’s a different story.  Oh well, just makes me look forward to working out like normal again.
