Well it’s week 8 since my operation to my leg. Today had consultant review were I was excited to be told the brace could come off and I can start walking properly (even if still weight bearing and using crutches) had an X-ray of the leg and waited......

Seen the consultant and boooo the bone hasn’t healed fully yet so I have to keep brace on for 3 weeks then I can discard it and wean off crutches on week 4 and 5 but still off work for 8 weeks more minimum

To say I’m happy am doing well but sad and lil upset it’s going take even longer to heal and get going.

Was supposed to be going physio tomorrow to start intensive physio to build muscle up an get walking by dr said nope stretching only and maybe some bike work....

Soooooo am a little fed up but also happy with recovery sorry to post an moan etc again just nice to share

"Good news "

Yeah it’s improving just frustrating that after 8 weeks the bone not healed yet, but when seen X-ray it’s a huge operation and the fracture that is done is quite severe, hopefully be ok just after the news that no change in circumstances for 5 weeks has made me slip an feel low again cos feel am getting nowhere.....

Just been physio and omg cos restricted movement because fracture still not healed means basic stretching for 4 weeks.... frustrating as thought would been doin more before the appointment yesterday.

Oh well had huge cry with frustration and annoyance,

Damn am sorry for posting stuff just help gets feelings and thoughts out but with fighting anxiety and depression in past I don’t wanna slip up and fall back into them areas again so by writing and chatting to people it helps keep stable.

Again am sorry Ano no real friends on here just strangers but does help if anyone feel would like be friends through fab would love to add as friend or you can add me as nice to speak

I was told 12 weeks to normal after my operation (completely different injury). Week nine, I thought, I'll never get there. Things rapidly accelerated at week ten (although normal was giving up crutches, not normal. It's twelve months for that...)

Yeah physio told me 12-15 weeks for tibia wedge to heal think consultant is cautious and likes regular checks and updates I just hoped was going to next stage in recovery hahah

Hope your ok now am doing good
