3 weeks post op and 2nd PT appt
Yesterday was 3 weeks post op…I am and have been FWB for close to 2 weeks. Zero pain and swelling and am in the Vacocast (which is awesome) I went to my second PT appt and he let me do some exercises while in my boot…I was sweating 
it felt so good to exercise and move. I only see him one time this week and next week which will be my week 4 post op I think he will let me come in 2x per week and eventually move up to 3x a week. He said I can ride the stationary bike with my boot if I want which I will for sure be doing. What I did notice is I actually not only have calf atrophy, but my foot too!!! He said that is normal… I have not been on it or using it for a month if you count the period after my injury waiting for the surgery. All things considered I am so grateful for how I am doing. I notice that so many of us have different protocols for this injury so I really enjoy reading what everyone posts. Wishing everyone a positive healing experience <3

Wow sounds like you are doing great. I just had my stitches out yesterday and I am in a hard cast for a week and then the boot. Hope I do just as well as you are doing
I’m glad you got PT so early on. I don’t think my surgeon believes in PT, he didn’t refer for it until the third time I asked, 3 months post surgery. I wish I had started sooner.
You were FWB one week post op? With your stitches in?
