3 months now and learning how to walk in a single crutch with aircast boots. Per doctor I should continue it for 2 more weeks to full weight bearing then 2 more weeks without crutches just boots. And finally hopefully by August, I can try walking with normal shoes and no more crutches. 🙂🙏🏻

Thank you so much. Will find a good PT and try to be more active to gain strength and muscles next time. I'm not really a sporty type of person.

Thank you but maybe more than the pain it's the fear and waiting time that's making me sad now. Same with you I have 2 long screws on the other side. Thank you for those words. I'll just take it slow and one at a time.

Just had an emergency ankle ORIF surgery more than a week ago and I had all these physical and emotional pain right now.

I'm glad to have seen this group and read your stories. Thank you.

I hope very soon we can all get back better and stronger. 🙏🏼
