No - Not that crappy fake TV Network (Does anybody remember the WB?) Weight Bearing! I had my 10.5 week X-ray and appointment with my surgeon. X-Rays looked good. After a short visit, he prescribed PT and gave me a cane. Instructions are PWB 25% progress to FWB - no time limit - I guess on my own. Wean off boot - 1-2 weeks, wean off crutches next 4 weeks, transition to cane - 4-6 weeks.
His caution - I'll start to feel pain again - you all have told me that - so I am prepared..... Got home - and tried to put weight on the foot with the boot on and walked across the house (with crutches of course) - felt totally alien - but good to try! Any pain seemed to come from the ankle not the foot.
All and all - I feel like I have made some great progress today. I know I have a long way to go. He also said I can sleep without the boot (FINALLY!!) and I can use the pool and hot tub. He never mentioned going bare foot - I guess I'll ask the PT, AND he said I should transition to regular shoes - did not mention orthotics or rocker sole - so again, curious what my PT will tell me.
HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!
