Accident 12/3/21.
3/3/22 Allnoles cleared for full weight bearing!!!!
Not there yet though. Lots of rehab to get walking but I have no ortho restrictions other than to not fall while learning to stand and walk again. Tried to stand getting into wife’s car after appt and felt like jelly legs. But I didn’t fall.
Now fight is about getting rehab. Had been told I’d get it at home for 7-10 more days to get strong enough for full outpatient rehab. Told today that’s wrong and I go straight to outpatient. But the outpatient place can’t see me for three weeks!!! Burning phones to find alternative. I’m not waiting three more weeks!!!
Edit - time on phones was worth it. Rehab starts Monday. And they’ve said I can stand on my own if I can with my walker. Already started that and marching in place as they said I can. Very safely.
It is amazing how much muscle memory and strength are lost in three months.
