Check-up Check-in

So today was the 6 week check-up. While my enthusiasm is waning the overall outlook is still good. Today I got the okay to progress to a modified walk putting 50% weight on the right leg while still using crutches for the next two weeks. Followed by one crutch for a week and then no crutches all while still wearing my storm trooper boot, for the next four weeks. Physical therapy is to commence to treat range of motion, rebuild strength, and hopefully cut down on the last bits of swelling.

The hard news, looks like it will be next spring before I am going to start returning to my "Normal" lifestyle, it's gonna be a hard winter.

And since I didn't have any photos to go along with this post, I provide you this instead.
