I accidentally put weight on my foot today. I have been extremely diligent this far. But I was too lazy to drag my scooter back downstairs today for the umpteenth time and instead, used my crutches…that I’m terrible with because I never use them. I ended up losing my balance and briefly used my right foot to catch myself. I was expecting pain. But there wasn’t any. Instead it was like a bunch of pins and needles through my whole foot. And it was very fast. I’m thinking at 4 weeks, although I’m still under “zero weight bearing” orders, I’m most likely past the point where it would have done a lot of damage.
It’s been 4 weeks since I’ve used this foot. Another week and a half and I should get the ok to walk in my boot and start driving again. And a couple more weeks after that I should be walking without the boot at all.
And then the real work starts. But honestly, right now, I am eagerly looking forward to the real work.
