Week 7 Walking More Easily After Foot Surgery

Week 7

This is starting to really speed up now! My Leg Caddy went back last week as I was getting about so well on crutches. It had to be packed back up into its box and sent back via courier which was paid for when I ordered it. The company, Wheelchairs r Us have been really great: ringing regularly to keep in touch and check that everything was all right.

I'm really motoring now. I've been out to two kids' sports days (with a companion each time and a fold-up chair) and coped reasonably well with rough terrain. I am comfortable walking for short periods round shops with one crutch and I am happy driving. My leg can get a bit stiff if it is in the boot for a while, but it soon eases once I am resting again.

It's nice to be more up and about, but I am trying not to overdo it. I have two more weeks until I see my Consultant again.

I reckon it's speeding up so fast because it's nearly the school holidays! Woohoo!
