Unfortunately the tibia needs to heal more before I can bear any weight. So my inability to do any type of meaningful PT is a real problem right now.
I saw the surgeon yesterday. He took a lot of X-rays and says the healing is going well. He also says that putting weight on the leg at this point would be disastrous.
So I can begin bending my knee which is important. But nothing else.
He removed all the staples and stitches and replaced them with Steri strips. Photo below shows how the leg looked yesterday before the strips. There go my leg modeling aspirations!
In about a month I will see him again and presumably be cleared for 50% weight bearing. Hopefully by then I will have some decent knee ROM.
That's all for now. The snow is dumping in the Sierras and I am not going to be part of it.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and excellent skiing. Keep those reports coming.
