+10 weeks still none weight bearing!

Ten weeks on. Still on two crutches.   I've no pain. Still some ankle swelling, some of you may have seen my super blister! I had a midi blister join a few weeks ago. Happy to report all blisters gone and fully healed.   For information, blisters can arise purely due to swelling bursting through skin layers.  Not common 

 

Hello, Kevin. It's good that the blisters are gone, as it sounds like they were not pleasant to have! I had some ankle swelling off and on, usually when I was doing too much. Are you still using crutches because you have a limp when not using them? Glad that you have no pain.

Oh, wait, I see that you are non-weight bearing. I assume that is under doctor's orders?

Yes on the surgeons orders until my next visit. Which hopefully is 1st February. 

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for sharing, for I have never heard of the blistering.  Glad that is over for you!  Keep on keeping on!

Hoping the best for you,

I was non weight bearing for a time after my hip revision, due to the extensive bone grafting done.  It is difficult to not bear weight isn't it?  Tiring.  But worth sticking to it.  We only have one chance to heal right.  Right?
