Dawnnes surgery

[wavery]

The recovery is going as expected. It is a long, slow process but hopefully this will be the last one. As of now I am still completely non weight bearing. I expect to stay that way until early Sept. Hopefully, by then, I will at least be able to put slight weight on it with the two crutches. It is usually about 9-12 months total recovery time.:banghead:I go back to my orthopedic surgeon on the 22nd. Maybe there will be a miracle and everything will be totally healed by then. I am not holding my breath though. I guess it is a good thing that I am so darn stubborn. I am determened not to let it slow me down. Camping, Disneyland, Legoland, Housework...you name it and I will do it.:p It is amazing what you can do in a wheelchair or hopping around on one foot or on crutches. All I have to do is put my mind to it and I can do it!

Can't wait for Smithwoods!

Glad to hear that you are doing well Dawne. How are you at house painting.....

We will find out. I will have to stick some paint rollers on the end of the crutches and off I will go!

Update
I just got home from my orthopedic surgeon and he said that I am healing ahead of shedule!:-() Although I am not allowed to start walking on it for another month I am now allowed to put standing weight on it and I can let it touch the ground now when I walk with the crutches. He hopes to let me start to put some walking weight on it after my next appointment in mid Aug.:p
