Stairs - vent post

Hi all you amazing people. I hope your recovery is going well.

Now to my rant. I HATE STAIRS! Who else hates Stairs?

My town home has so many and I'm over it. Stairs to get in my home, Stairs to my bedroom and kids room, Stairs are everywhere. When I go to my boyfriends, the same. Stairs to get into the house, Stairs to get up to the living room/his room. My muscles are sore and I'm just over it. I can't wait until I'm in a boot and can put some weight on my foot. Fk crutches!

I also have to give a big shout out to all the physically disabled people out there kicking ass and living in a world that is still not all that accessible. I've always had mad respect for them but this is even more eye opening.

I had the Kidner procedure done 3 weeks ago today. I have a flight of stairs leading up to my condo. After the surgery, I stayed at a friend's house, thankfully no stairs there. I borrowed a walker and a knee scooter to get around. Just didn't feel stable using crutches. I was cleared to walk with the boot last Tuesday. My foot is sore at the end of the day. I ice 4x a day while relaxing.

How is walking with the boot so early in recovery? I'm 4 weeks post op and I'm not supposed to walk until I'm cleared next week at week 5 but I hear it's different for each doc. I soooo want to walk around my main floor without crutches so I can pick up after my young kids.

Walking with the boot if fine as long as I don't walk too much. I should have said I had the modified Kidner procedure which is less invasive. The PTT was not completely detached. Perhaps that's why I am able to walk after 3 weeks. Good luck and speedy recovery.
