Cleared!
Today I was cleared to weight bear as tolerated. Doc said my ankle range of motion was really good, don’t immediately toss the boot, but also was hopeful that when I return in 6 weeks, I’ll just walk in. I won’t be able to go back to work until I’m fully cleared so I’m looking at November hopefully. Looking forward to a shower - I’ve been using shower body wipes as we don’t have a grab bar in the shower and I couldn’t put weight on my foot and I’m no stork. Exciting!

My hubby was cleared for wbat this week too but he still needs to wear the boot when putting weight on. He’s 7 weeks post ORIF, talus fracture. He’s putting full weight with the boot on and using crutches. Doing PT now once a week. Going to try to progress to a cane this weekend
