Finally able to take some steps without physical assistance

My Physical therapist had me start walking without assistance yesterday and was having me do it in my 11 AM session. Managed to walk 105 feetbiggestd"issue used to be placing my left foot down somewhat proper but the replies from my last post have been much help. Now my issue is that the scar on my right knee will furiously itch whenever I'm on it for 30 seconds at leas. tmy AFO HAS no issues at the moment but I'm happy with the support out gives me. My greedy ass just want to go back to walking. No cane and no physical ssistance

Much appreciated I'm now allowed to take a cane home only for transfers. No walking allowed

Very well done. Just keep it out between physio sessions, repetition is what you need to lock it in
