The cast got an upgrade & I'm out of elevation prison!
2 weeks of strict laying down elevation for 23 hours a day, completed.
Today- Stitches are out, wound checked and vacoped boot on, still non weightbaring for 2 more weeks and ankle locked into 45 degrees of plantarflexion.
After that, every two weeks, for 8 weeks the boot angle will change to allow more movement in the Achilles until gradually it's at neutral. Not going to lie, the thought of moving it in two weeks makes my whole body feel weird 🤢
I won't be in my own trainers until the beginning of November 😳😬
I was going to do a video update as a lot of friends have been asking how I am and what the process looks like but I can't talk about it at the moment because I might be sick 🤣
The boot is....... Heavy! It's a bit painful but it's ok and I'll get used to it. The boys have named it a robot leg 🤣🤖
I'm excited to get back on the mobility scooter and get outside, see some people and get some fresh air.
It's been a rough 2 weeks inside, a lot of time on my own as kids still need to go out and enjoy themselves. I'm sad to have missed half their school holidays and missed out on 2 weekends away and days out. Thank you to my friends and family who have checked in on me during my lockdown 🤣 and especially to Kerrianne for being my unpaid carer ha. I've managed to train Ezra to be a good helper but Elliot needs a bit more training and bribery.
8 weeks until the real rehab starts 🤯
