So I have another update. I'm at the end of my ninth week from surgery and things are going fairly well. I started working at a gig downtown on March 24 and used my single crutch for the week. That ended up being more of a pain in the butt than anything. I finally just dropped it last weekend and decided I'd figure it out. So after a weekend of beating my leg up (walking all over) and getting sore, I think I made progress.
My Dorsal-Flexion (my ability to pull my toes back towards me) got measured on Thursday (4/2) and it went from 2 degrees to 5 degrees. So my excessive walking and consequently stretching limbered me up some. That was awesome news. All the other measurements (pointing and side to side movement) were really good and just continue to progress well. The PT guy was very happy. I need 5-10 degrees to walk. Yea team. I was supposed to be at 10 by this coming Monday, but he thought the doc would be very happy anyway. I'm thrilled. :)
