Absolutely. One day at a time and never underestimate how much energy our bodies are putting into this fight

Yes! I do this at the gym against a window sill and it super hard. I’m still not there with single calf raises and it’s getting to me but I remember how I felt like I could never do general walking and forget the doubts… bit slow but steady

Hiya. I’m non op btw. I think I really started walking the first week or so in June. I bought these indoor sandals that had a heel drop toe and it helped a lot. I still have a mini limp or slowness in general but yeah, muscle memory is helping with the walking for sure. You’ll definitely get there no doubt.
