Just got back from a follow-up appointment with my surgeon – I’m happy to report he is pleased with my recovery and has told me I don’t need to make any follow-up appointments.

He said I have recovered faster than most people who suffer a similar injury. While I still feel pain in my foot after walking a long distance and I’m not walking as fast as I used to, I’m back to doing most of what I did pre-surgery. All I need to do now is wait for the swelling to go down, which will take another few months. And if for some reason the metal plates and screws break due to wear and tear and causes me enough discomfort for me to want to get them removed, it’s only then I will need to see him again.

An activity I can get back into but haven’t tried yet is running. I’m still paranoid I’ll break my foot again doing so!

Anyway all good – just have to take care and do my best to not have a repeat episode!!
