Post Op - Week 12

Physical Therapy is going well. Getting my range of motion and focusing on building strenght. Trying Accupunture today for the frist time. Also bought shoes Naot and Naturalista as  those are the only pairs that fit me at this point. It's a long process, but I am so thankfull for being able to walk and drive now

Post Op Week 9 & 10

Hello fellow healers. It has been a tumultous few weeks and I have not been able to post. I moved back to my own place which at this juncture in time is lacking the internet connection so I can only post at work. So I started PT and had my 2nd appointment this week. I am walking with a slight limp and using stairs. The stretches in PT really help with the range of motion and managing pain, which is what I strongly reccommend for you all who are considering PT. Absolute must as soon as you can weight bear.

Post Op - Week 8

I am walking. :o)
Well... that's a bit of a stretch, but i am limping. No crutches, no boot. I had a check up and the doctor said the bones are healing really well and was rather impressed that the scar tissue is healing so fast.
 I use Bio - Oil for scars and take Graphite internally (from a health food store), also Arnica for swelling and bruising. I can't drive till next week when i am comfortable to slam the breaks if I have to.
 The x - rays should arrive sometime this week from my visit yesterday and as soon as they do i will be sure to post them here. Hope all of you are hanging in there. I am returning the wheel chair and crutches this week and starting PT next week.
