Out for the season

[Knitjenious]

Happy to report that the next phase has begun. Today I was cleared for partial weight bearing (50% for 3 weeks, then more as tolerated). I have scheduled my PT evaluation for tomorrow.

I was thinking of you today @skibum4ever because my Facebook memories reminded me that 9 years ago today was the day I was cleared for weight bearing!

Sending good vibes and continued patience as your body heals. (I remember being surprised at how tiring this part of the healing process was -- and how much the bottom of my foot hurt!) I hope your PT eval will go well!

and how much the bottom of my foot hurt!

Yeah, that was a surprise for me, too.

Good luck with PT and do what you're told, but not more than you're allowed.

Great news. Progress is being made. Hope all continues to go well.

Best wishes as you progress…

Yes, it's exhilarating...very tiring... I am asleep every night by 9 pm. And much more painful than inactivity.

I walked beyond my long driveway for the first time yesterday. My goal is to walk a half mile today. My secondary goal is to be sufficiently independent that I can send DH on a well deserved ski trip fairly soon.

 

[MaineSkiLady]

You are amazing.
Nuff said.

Three months post surgery, I am officially "healed". I have been walking every day and yesterday managed over two miles. Today I saw the surgeon and he was excited to see me walk in unaided. He actually took a photo of me giving him a thumbs up and a huge grin. He intends to send it to my first surgeon at Mammoth.

I will be in therapy for a while longer as I need a lot of work on strength and flexibility. But he lifted my driving restriction which is a big step forward.

 

[MaineSkiLady]

WOW!

 

[skibum4ever]

WOW!

Thank you.

How's it going with you MSL?

 

[MaineSkiLady]

Will follow up with PM. Had a bunch of tests today. <sigh>

This is excellent news!

YAY!!!! Most excellent!!

 

[Iwannaski]

Great job to your body, your medical team and your mind. (Not in any order)

I would bet that the fact that you started with an active body helped the healing a lot.
Sending you a big high five!!!

Way to go @skibum4ever!!
