Thanks so much !!! Apologies for not checking in sooner . Had family members come “to help out “ the last few weeks, but my recovery has been so amazing there wasnt much for them to do!!
Pretty much ditched my walker and cane after 2 weeks as i was able to walk on my own. Walking on my own has been a progression, i feel like i make a bit of progress each day, from a comfortability standpoint . Started out w a little limp but looks and feels like its subsided. No pain, however , if i do alot of walking , bending, just general tasks around the house, occasionally get a bit of muscle soreness, which ive been familiar with most of my life. I pay attention to my walking gate, sometimes its easy to slip into presurgery mode. Heel strike walking method has worked well . Gaining strength, mobility and confidence every day. Will add tho, morning stiffness a few minutes to walk off.
All in all , elated w how i feel!!
A few side notes: my appetite has gone thru the roof… starting to gain some weight back , which im very pleased about.
Been able to take our dogs on walks on leash without cane or walker, 1.5-2m usually. My big dog weighs 110lbs . Hes been so perceptive to my condition and knows im getting better, very much more playful w me
Well , thats my update . Gona respond to some peeps .
Wishing eveyone in recovery a speedy and total recovery , and a thank you to the moderators that provide so much info and support!!
