4th PT and some news
Went to PT. To my surprise I was to start walking in my crutches putting in about 90lbs on my bad leg walking using my heels/toes. I have been walking on my toes during previous PTs. The PT was careful to remind me to walk using the same strides as my other leg. Another surprise was that I will be FWB in two more weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That means I can walk down the aisle as a matron of honor rather than do that in crutches or a wheelchair!
I went to the medical supply store and bought myself trouser socks that is designed to help with swelling. It could be mistaken for calf-length pantyhose. I went to Target the other day and looked at compression socks but they are too tight for me. Thus, the trouser socks. I will let you know how it feels.
It felt great to change my status from NWB to PWB. Thanks Marianne for the tip!
