It’s been 6 weeks since surgery, 8 weeks since the rupture.
I went to see my doctor today. Here’s what I learned:
- I am allowed to put as much weight on my left foot as possible without major pain.
- He told me to go down to one crutch when I feel ready for it.
- I got my “prescription” to begin physical therapy.
- I’ll get to ditch the boot in 4 weeks, and so will end “the summer of the boot.”
It’s still a long, long road back, but each stage is getting more bearable.
I’ll never take for granted the “miracle of walking” again :)
