Just a few problems
For the last week (weeks 11 and 12 post-op) I have struggled to walk on crutches while carrying the weight (up to 50% of my body weight) on my right ankle which (hopefully) has now healed. ! I'm going to take an X-ray next Tuesday to see if my bone has grown...
- I use the lower back muscles, I haven't really used them in a few weeks. (I am now 12 weeks post-op.)
- As a result, my back screamed in pain!
- My lower back is also very stiff and very sore which is very annoying with anything I do let alone walking.
So I do nothing but try to find a solution to the problem - be it medication, trying to escape the physical therapist, sacroiliac stretching, new shoes to help me walk, or spinning at home instead of crutches. !
The bottom line is that I'm not having much fun right now and I'm not very good at blogging.
Hence the large gap between the blog posts.

| My intelligent forearm uses crutches after "walking". - with an open boot to indicate how many layers to take I have not had a severe allergic reaction to ear fungus and prevented my feet from slipping into boots I have 5 socks! |
Today I switched to a homemade scooter to see if it works better. According to preliminary data, my back doesn't hurt very much, but tomorrow morning when I try to get out of bed, I'll do a serious examination!
PS The good news is that it doesn't hurt when I "roll" on the floor with a stroller. It feels a bit but I'm hoping the hiking boots will be taken off next Tuesday and I can go fully loaded - in my usual (for me) boots which are my very durable Brooks Beasts!
