A New Leg Update 11-22-13

Hello people. :) I wanted to give you an update on how things are going with my leg. I am so happy to report that I was given the okay to start physical therapy about three weeks ago. I have been 6 times and although it is no walk in the park, I love it! I also do the therapy work 2x's a day at home. Last week, I started walking with my crutches. That felt so weird after not walking for so long. It almost felt wrong, but after practicing, it fells right again. My leg is weak and felt like a bambi leg when I started but that too is getting stronger.  Yesterday, my surgeon told me I could get a cane. Woohoooo!!

In the last post, I showed you an x-ray from before I got surgery. The following are more x-rays of the progress that my leg has been making.

It hard for me to see much difference from Oct. 14 to Oct. 31., but the surgeon saw enough of a difference to let me start therapy so woohoo!!  Now I am working on getting my leg strong enough to use only the cane. I get another x-ray in three weeks, and I am excited to see what that will show. :)

Thank you so much for stopping by and reading my blog. I hope you are all well and in good spirits.
