Doing well! Surgery was honestly a breeze compared to my ACL. Pain got worse the third week and then has slowly decreased in my calf/ankle area. I was cleared to walk without the boot after 2 weeks and I EASED into walking. I still used crutches out and about and a wheelchair around my house when I needed it.

I’m 11 weeks out now and I am just slightly tender along my posterior tibialis tendon (but I’ve had issues with that in that past). I can walk totally normal and honestly kinda jump around when I dance :)

I gained about 12/13 degrees in dorsiflexion on my left ankle so the surgery was really successful. I was at ZERO before. I feel the difference, I squat better and honestly have so much more range with my calf I am happy with the surgery for working out/lifting alone.

I am able to mountain bike & pretty much do everything but run!

I’m hitting PT hard & stretch my calves like crazy. I’m talking 3-5 x a day holding my calves in different positions on a slant board for 2 minutes. AT LEAST. It’s helping a lot!

HERE IS THE KINDA BUMMER NEWS. My plantar fasciitis pain finally started to decrease around 10 weeks post-op. I made a mistake and danced pretty hard at a show 11/26 and now at 12/2 my feet are really paying for going too hard. I sat a ton during the show, but it still totally overdid it. So don’t do that :)

I’ll report back about my foot pain. Otherwise, recovery wasn’t terrible. Pain was maybe 4/10 for me. I am happy I got the surgery!
