YES YES,
I have seen the surgeon this week, and he told me I can put body weight on my leg now for short periods in the home as long as I wear the MOONBOOT.
Other than that it is still crutcheseverywhere else.
BEST part:, I can go into the pool and start leg exercises there I am so dammed excited I am jumping out of my skin gang.:_} water, water, and lots of leg extensions with ankle weights.

Hello everyone, well it has been 3 months since my 4 hour surgery on my right ankle, 2x 5 inch screws drilled up through the heel to go with the ones in the flat of the foot.
I can only now move my toes, no oblique movement and only 8% doseflexion from the toes.
Just out of the casts after surgery in June, and now a "moon-boot",
I see the Surgeon late Septemeber to see if I can even start re-hab, and this will take another 4 off months minimum.
I have lost 4 inches of the calf, and 3 of the Quad's.
I will send a photo if I can. ,
I am now starting to get "frustrated" at not beeing able to move about, and I lapsed into "DEPRSSION" for a while ther {that is why I have not been on this Site for a while.
ASLO: I needed shoulder surgery, a tear in the Laboral area near the socket, bone chips , and a fraying tendon, but I have had to use the crutches for so long the damage may have worsoned.
So I will have that as soon as I can "sort of Walk" again!!!
THIS IS THE START of another 4 years of surgeries, as the LEFT Ankle needs fusion and I need 3 knee replacements and a hip job as well. PAIN is accute on the foot and shoulder, and the rest of the body is suffering from normal Chronic Pain , well I can handle that..wear a mouthguard and be cognitive and seek out new things to do whilst I am laid up.
Sorry I have not been on for a while everyone, but that drpession period meant I wanted NO part of the Internet/Emails etc.
I AM ALIVE
Cheers

Kathleen--good luck! I missed most of the conversation. You mention pain. Is it fibro? I know a couple of people with that (including me). I've learned to keep going because the alternative is not good. But so many others live miserable and limited lives. I've become sedentary though and am trying to change that. I'd like to keep up with your story. Maybe your challenge is something else, but whatever it is, you can be an inspiration to others! But I'm sure you know that. I'd like to carry your story to my little sphere of influence if that's okay! Anyone else too. Let me know.

Those who are physically challenged can be as successful as those who are in excellent physical health. If you are disabled or physically handicapped, you just need extra determintion to achieve your goals. You must go the extra mile to reach your goals, but if you have courage and determination, you will succeed.

Excellent decision Kathleen, I am very confident you won't regret it. A competition gives you focus and a specific goal within a specific timeframe. I am sure you will blow them away! Keep us informed on your progress... the greater the challenge, the greater the reward. -Brent-

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered
by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer
much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."

- Theodore Roosevelt, was the twenty-sixth President of the United States.
