First 24 hours in my Vacocast 10 days post op
Dear Vacocast inventor THANK YOU!!! I love this thing. I am 10 days post op bearing full weight with the boot. The ONLY downside is it is much higher than your other side even in an athletic shoe so I definitely have to get one of those even ups. I am still going to use my knee scooter for long walking periods to help my back and hip. A few people have asked questions about the hyperbaric chamber…there is one study they did with rats that showed good results which you can find on the Internet. What really pushed me in this direction was a very large percentage of professional athletes and teams use the hyperbaric chamber for their injured players. They don’t publicize it, but my friend who is the massage therapist for several professional athletes in the area massages them and they go into the chamber. The other thing I am looking into is this AlterG zero gravity treadmill when I am ready for it. I also have a 5 day post op pic of my incision and the day the stiches came out day 9…if it won’t gross people out I will post them so you can see an actual visual of my healing. I just have to figure out how to do that 
Monday is Day #1 of PT

Sounds like you’re doing great, Phaedz! My doc wouldn’t let me bear weight until week 6, so we’re on opposite ends of the curve.
I’m interested in booking Alter G sessions, too, to get back into running. Another option to consider once you get the green light to start gait training is walking in the deep end of a pool.
