Today, June 19th I had my 12 week check up at the doctors. I’m now on the fast track to loosing the crutches, this will be done through whats called Partial Progressive Weight Bearing. In other words each week I can add 25% more weight on my leg. If my maths correct that means another 4 weeks till I’ll be walking completely unassisted. The doctor stressed that in this stage not to over do it & if pain persists to slow down. This afternoon I have my first physical therapy appointment.
All the other doctor’s notes were positive, the x-ray showed that the bone is healing very nicely & the outlook on a full recovery is excellent.
Is it just me or do my crutches get louder every day?!?!?!
Could this be considered a “crutch tapper”
Great news!
