After 12 weeks of non-weight bearing Mom was given the Green Light today! She can begin using her foot-- in the walking boot-- as tolerated!! She was -- is-- very excited. This means all kinds of independence returns... most obviously, she won't need to ring the bell for the CNA to help her to the commode!!!
It will take Physical Therapy to a new level as well and soon perhaps we will even have a projected release day so she can go back to her own home. Praise the Lord for healing. The Dr was very pleased. Everything looks great!
I feel her pain and her excitement. I started my PT today and am sore tonight. The walking boot is so nice albeit very warm at night to sleep but, hey, independence is a lovely thing! Hoping she does well with everything and you are keeping your sanity through it all too!!! :)
