Hello,
My name is Kristin and I am extra excited to have found this forum. I broke the tibia and
Fibula of my right leg 4 days ago and was fortunate enough to have gotten my surgery the same day where 9 screws were used to repair the damage. I left the hospital the next day with a soft cast that has a splint-like bottom in it and tensor bandages holding it together. I have been told no weight for 6-8 and to go back at 2 weeks for a hard/air cast and I’m assuming stitch removal. The problem I am having is that I barely have any recollection of the experience and direction given. It happened so fast. There is no one for me to ask if I’m doing things properly or if what I’m experiencing is normal (emergency orthopedic surgeon). It’s kind of scary and lonely I guess and hopefully I have come to the right place to ask a few small questions here and there for a little bit of reassurance. Thank you so much to anyone who might listen from this group.
