Today I visited Dr Wong to check on my ankle and after x-rays we met for over 30 minutes. Dr Wong said my bones were growing together as expected and the titanium parts were in place. They removed the remaining stitch and it was really in there tight! OUCH!! He told me therapy would be a waste of my time and money and I should continue to follow his plan for me. I am now to keep my ankle up and rotate my ankle as much as possible. I must also decide how 50 pounds feels and use the walker to move about, but only put 50 pounds on my bad ankle for two weeks. Then I will add another 50 pounds for two weeks and then my entire weight for two weeks and then I should be able to walk. After I am walking I might need to have therapy.
Tomorrow I will be apprehensive but I will need to begin the weight bearing! Wish me luck!!
