Post Op: Half Way There!!

I'm in my fourth week post-op and am happy to report things are still moving along well (literally). I'm pretty sick of crutches, but only a little over two weeks to go now, so I'm trying to stay positive.

As for PT, I'm still doing isometrics, heel slides, abduction and this week added some adduction as well as the balance ball to my bridge work and more resistance on the 4-way standing leg raises.

I have very little pain, actually I would call it discomfort. If I turn wrong and stress the heal site, which I'm very careful NOT to do, I still get some significant pain. I usually wake with a lot of pain in the mornings, but movement has proved to be the best pain killer of all, especially water walking which has been wonderful!!

I'm crossing my fingers, holding my breath, saying my prayers...anything and everything I can to make this work!! It's terrifying and motivating all at the same time.

I will continue to keep you updated on my progress. As always please share your experiences, questions, suggestions, etc.
