7 weeks post op- Surgeon Appointment Tomorrow
Tomorrow will be my 7 weeks post op date. I cant believe its been weeks, honestly it feels much longer. I am currently still in the boot and walking freely with that and no crutches. I started PT a little over a week ago, so I go twice a week. The first two times were just showing me different movements I should be making.
I guess tomorrow the surgeon will see where we are at and if I can start walking without the boot. I have no pain. It just feels tight. If I do my PT exercises it feels pretty good afterwards.
I have slight swelling in my ankles but other than that it looks good. I also started using scar cream. Cant see a difference really yet. I think i’ve been using it for 2 or 3 weeks now and it says it takes 8 weeks for new scars.
This process has been very long and brutal, but Im very excited that I’m doing physical therapy and have the option in the near future to start walking without the boot. My PT told me that my next appointment with her will start to do actual excerices like walking on it and then progressing to a stationary bike. I never thought I would be excited for physical exercise! Before this I went to the gym usually 3 times a week. Ive probably gained a good 5-7 lbs so I cant wait to go to the gym again and actually NOT dread it, who would have thought!
