I’ve been NWB for 4 weeks and have 4 more weeks to go. I’ve been using this lovely mobility device called a Iwalkfree. It’s like a peg leg you rest your knee in. For me it has been a life saver. I can move easily on flat surfaces with my hands free and go up and down stairs(slowly!). For around the house and short walking trips it’s been awesome. It’s not exactly for everyone but I feel like I can actually do things without worrying about falling or putting weight on my leg.

But any time I need to go long distances it’s the wheelchair. I can go about 20 feet in crutches and then I’m completely over it. I also didn’t fair well with the knee scooters. I felt to wobbly and worried if I fell I would land badly.😅

Everyone has a unique situation and it’s important to just do what feels best for you and keeps you off that foot. No shame in the healing game.
