[Crab]

Update, got the cast off early last week in ER. Went in today for scheduled follow up and film, all looks good have to bear 40 lb. weight first week, 80 second, 120 3rd, all by the 4th week in my walking boot, then 2 more weeks in the boot. No phys. therapy, its up to me to stretch and gain movement and motion. "it puts the lotion on its skin" applies here folks......

If you wanted to shower you could have got a cast shower boot:

I used one and it worked great. You could even have gone riding on a couch. You could ask people who have been through these things for tips. :smile:

Sounds like it's all downhill from here so good luck!

I did the exact same thing playing hockey this spring. 1 plate, 4 screws, 15 staples. I had one screw through the tibia to hold the fibula together, it was removed ~ week 6. They told me the same thing about the walking boot, if you can do it you have a lot more control that I did. As soon as the fiberglass cast was off, and the screw was out, I was walking full weight on the boot, another week and the boot was off. It's fine now, some ligament damage and restricted motion, but I was back on the superjet within 8 weeks of breaking it (at the time, I was still supposed to have the boot on for another 4 weeks).

Good luck

Your Scar looks good!

Does your doc have a plan to remover the hardware later?

Where did the calf muscle go dayum

 

[jetskiier]

My calf was also about half the size, took almost three months to get back to normal. Did you have about 1/4" of dead skin on the bottom of your foot?

Dead skin sucks, so glad to get it off and lotion on. My calf is about half its usually thin self...hehehe The hardware stays put unless I have some discomfort later.
