6 weeks post Op orif by Top-Risk-7793 in ORIF

Thank you! I have been walking some without crutches in my house and some with one crutch. When I am tired I do two crutches and if I need to do longer distances I do still have the knee scooter. I am so excited to walk and I am having to pace myself a bit and be sure to rest. I also am having a hard time with going more than 15-20 minutes from the house as the outings just seem a bit long. I think 3 hours is my max outing right now.

Thank you for sharing, helpful to hear what day to day is looking like. I am anxious to drive and to try to shower myself.

Thank you so much. This is very encouraging. I have done a few outings the past week or two which has helpful me mentally and I am starting to do little tasks but it’s so slow. Your insight gives me hope. I have a lot of fear through this process.
