| Slow recovery from ankle replacement surgery
I am trying not to feel discouraged but I am 9.5 weeks post op and still dependent on crutches. I'm supposed to be doing more full weight bearing (with air boot only) but I can only take a few steps. I know everyone recovers at a different rate, etc. I am doing the exercises 3x a day and PT 3x a week. I am grateful as anything that the non-weight bearing period is over - now that was a challenge! Next doctor visit and xrays is in 3.5 weeks, I hope to make more progress by then. I watch people walk around and feel envious! In 10 days I'm moving to an apartment and I'll have to walk my dog so the pressure is in, lol! Or maybe I'll be walking her on crutches?
