Walking without crutches

Today I woke up and decided to ditch the crutches. The physical therapist said I could as long as I keep them around in the event that I have to do a lot of walking or prolonged standing. I am able to walk, albeit tentatively, pretty well. I have to fight the desire to limp and try to use the leg corrrectly, but all-in-all, it is going well and I am excited to be on the path to recovery.
Jiu Jitsu classes start back up next week. Not really. 5 more months until that is even possible, but at least I am able to start building back my legs for now.

I go for a walk ( sort of )

I had my 6-week post-op appointment today and am officially able to start weight bearing on my right leg. I get to start with my brace on and crutches wtih a goal to be crutchless and braceless in 7 days. My first steps were scary and painful. Every step burns my foot since it hasn't been stepped on in 6 weeks and after only a few hours, my leg is exhausted. I am heading to my first physical therapy session in my new status as soon as I finish typing this and will let you know how it went.
