Broken Legs - My New Hardware

Here it is...

Boris has another seizure

Boris had another seizure today.  Its been over 2 years since his last seizure and I weaned him off the meds over 2 years ago.

Broken Leg - 4 months

Four months since I broke the legs.   I am walking almost normal and riding a stationary bike.

However, the ankle still feels stiff and the leg is still slightly swollen.  It swells a little more whenever I work it out.

Starting a new Job - Relay Health

I started a new job today.  The company is called RelayHealth and is a subsidiary of McKesson, the large medical services company.

Broken Leg - Walking almost normal

Its now been 13 weeks since the broken leg and I am now at the point where I am practically walking normal, without a limp.  I have to focus on not favoring the right leg, not because of pain, but because I am in such a habit of favoring it and also because the ankle and knee are still a little stiff.

Broken Leg - Elliptical trainer

Worked out on an elliptical trainer for 30 minutes for the first time.  Feeling pretty good.

Broken Leg - 3 Months

This is the point at which my surgeon says is the average time at which most patients resume normal activity.  The question is "what did he mean by normal"?

Currently, I am walking mostly without a boot and without the assistance of a walker or a cane, but it is still tentative strides, favoring the right leg.  There is no pain whatsoever, but the joints are tight and the muscles feel weak.

However, I am getting around quite well
