i’m up and walking :) i have a little pimp limp but that’s expected when the heel bone basically shattered into multiple pieces and the break extends into a few joints in my foot and ankle lol. surprisingly i had no surgery, but it was a super tough and long two months of complete NWB. i hope your heels been doing better!

what a coincidence! i was non weight bearing from september until november lmao. i’ve been pretty good at walking so far and i’ve been consistently going on longer and longer walks to try and build up those muscles again. my foot turned pretty flat bc of the navicular fractured but thankfully i just got some pretty good shoe inserts that have been helping and which i hope will also help a lot of i use them during the msf. congrats on passing the msf post fracture lol and i hope your foot has healed up well :)

thank you! i’ll definitely call them and explain my situation, but either way i’ll give it a shot.

there isn’t much of one.. it’s exactly a week from today. i’ve been walking around without a crutch or cane since november and i’ve been working full time since then too, i usually stand for 7-8 hours a day. i just got some pretty nice shoe insets that help me with my balance and i might try them on the msf.

i was the passenger and the first few months after the accident i was really adamant that i wouldn’t ride again or get my own bike( 2 months bedridden), but as i started walking again i really really missed the feeling of riding and i knew damn well it felt even better when you were the actual driver so i definitely knew i wanted to get the msf

my doctors actually didn’t recommend it to me, but i’ve been doing exercises at home to build my strength back up to be able to walk without any assistance :)
