New cast today. This is getting really hard.Attachment 212782
Are you still 100% non weight bearing?
Yeah. 2 more weeks of that then maybe boot but there could be tendon/ligament issues because the joint "spread"? according to last xrays
Good luck. Non weight sucks. Hopefully they don't slowly work you up, because partial weight bearing is almost as frustrating
They said I won't be able to just walk. And it's scary to have the cast off.. it totally feels weak and vulnerable just sitting there getting a new cast.
It takes time to strengthen your muscles (for me it took months).
When the doctor cleared me to walk without my crutches I wasn't elated. I was scared, which I didn't expect. Spending months babying my leg and then finally being allowed to walk on it made me feel anxious. I was afraid that I'd reinjure it. You'll get through this and you will get back to living the active life you enjoy.
At least they give me new casts whenever I want. I was a little sad to give up the one Willie Watson signed but it was starting to stink.
Glad your are healing up!
Nice work matching your toenail polish to the cast color.Quote:

I have a boot for 3 to 4 weeks.
Maybe DD would like to lick it.
Gross.
