So Here's another update on me that yall might enjoy!...hopefully! So I went back to the doctor for my 6 week check up and everything went great! She said My scars are healing well and that my ankle stretches were good too! She said that these next 6 weeks will be healing time for my ankle bone and that it's still really important for me not to put any pressure on my ankle still.
On my next appointment on May 20th will hopefully be when they give me the OK to start little by little putting weight on my ankle again! I think after they give me the OK to put weight on it again then will start a 4 week process of weight bearing progression. Then after the 4 weeks I'll start rehab with walking, muscle strengthening, and just learning how to use my whole right leg again pretty much..ha So needless to say I got a great report and I'm super excited to start my next chapter of recovery which ends in me being able to go home!
May 20th is also the day I'll be able to go home as well so I'm really excited about that and being back in my apartment again with my bed and STUFF!! I'll be sad to leave my parents cause we've really grown ALOT together these past weeks and they've taken great care of me which I wouldn't have been able to get at home. There's nothing like a mother's care.
Before I end this post I'll leave you with the coolest pictures ever...my xrays of my ankle! Extremely cool!
