I think we all have that fear of falling and/or breaking something but it rarely happens. I was a bit skeptical to step on the operated leg at first, too, because I wasn't sure if it would work or how it would feel. However, it all went much better than anticipated. I think your mom will gain a bit more confidence with each step she takes. She does need to move a bit each day and I'm sure the nurses and everyone else are encouraging her to do that. One step at a time and one day at a time. Soon it will all work out ok.
