Got some good news from my ortho surgeon today - the bone has healed well enough and everything has stayed in alignment, so I get to start partial weight bearing and physical therapy to relearn how to walk!

It's been 10.5 weeks since the accident that shattered the top of my tibia, and I've been so ready to get back on my feet.  

Physical therapy starts in two weeks - earliest they could get me in - and in the meantime, I can start practicing standing, working on balance, and practicing toe-touch walking with my crutches.

So excited to start getting back to some semblance of normal!

Sweet! Very excited for you! Curious what it feels like to put weight on it... Like is it noticably weaker?

Very much so.  I can't put a lot of weight on it, and my leg immediately lets me know when I've hit the limit.  The whole thing has been a weird and fascinating sensory experience - the skin between the incision scars is still numb and may stay that way forever or the nerves might regrow.  I've got four titanium plates and 17 screws that basically created a cage to hold the shattered bone together and that just feels so weird.

The muscles atrophied so much, my right calf is half the size of my left now, and I've gotta rebuild all that muscle.
