Broken Leg (6 Weeks)

[savaunte]

Well, It has been 6 long weeks since I broke my leg. I've gone through 3 casts and now finally im out of a cast and have been released to finally bare some weight on the leg. My leg and foot are still swollen though, im pretty nervous about putting any weight on it, but I know I must. This is alot harder than I first anticipated. Im kinda puzzled why the OS would measure me for a leg brace, but then never give me one...and the actual bone growth isnt as much as he wanted.
I have this fear of standing up, and my leg just snapping beneath me, I know that wont happen, the Titanium rod and 3 screws wont allow that, but its still a fear I have.

So now that the cast is off are you going riding tomorrow? :laugh:

My Wife would kill me.

Thanks to my Aunt, who has been a Surgical Nurse for over 20 years..told my wife that I need to wait a year before I climb back on my bike.... :bang:

Dont worry, I WILL NOT wait that long.... :p
