Week 3 First Follow Up
My first follow up with the orthopaedic surgeon. Week 3 (16 days after the op). A quick 5 minute check up. He confirmed that everything is where it is supposed to be.
I keep the cast on for another 2 weeks. That is 4 weeks in total. Non weight bearing. The cast comes off on 15th September 2016.
Then boot and partial weight bearing for 2 weeks. Then full weight bearing. Target date is 1st October 2016.
My wife says that we are saving a fortune as I don’t go shopping any more.
Hey, I think we are on a pretty similar schedule.
I ruptured it on 8/19. I just got my cast off on 9/16. Now I am on a Vacocast for 2 weeks (PWB). Then FWB.
Thanks for the feedback. My cast came off a day before yours on 15th September. It was a weird feeling starting to put weight on the foot again. I had been treating my leg like a land mine for 4 weeks and had to re-calibrate my mind again to start using it. I have been doing physio for the last couple of weeks and going back to gym for some light exercise.
Every day I start to feel more normal.
Good luck with your recovery.
