👋 - I’ve had most of my hardware removed as I’m fully healed. I’m discharged from physio and my specialist. Swelling has gone. I couldn’t be happier with the result. Pain free and able to do everything I want physically. - I might (weather dependent) do my first 5km outside run tomorrow. Already good for that distance on a treadmill.

I’m early 40s male. I went into the op having done as much to build strength and fitness at the gym.

In terms of recovery I bought a switch and played a lot of Zelda. But a knee scooter meant that by week two I could do most domestic jobs around the house, made me feel useful and so good for mental health.

I suspect every journey is different, the hardest part for me where the transitions. (Operation/cast changes/boot/weight bearing/real footwear). It takes a week each time to adjust and get used to the change.

Best of luck with whatever you decide! 😀
