I went in to the doc for my 4 week checkup.
Initially I was told 6 weeks before I could start walking on it with the boot, Now at 4 weeks I am walking on it with the boot. The doc was and is amazed at how fast someone "MY AGE" is able to heal. She was very impressed with how everything looks, the x-rays looked wonderful.
I have already got about 50% of my range of motion back, because I have been doing the prescribed exercises religiously. There was zero swelling which she said is also amazing.
So the original estimate of not wearing a pair of shoes till May or June has been moved up to by the end of March possibly even early March. That will give me time to work on the bike and strengthen the leg back up so that I can safely ride by the time riding season starts.
I did get to see pics of what was done. There are 2 main ligaments that hold the ankle together, one was torn completely in half and the other was torn 90+% with just a thread holding on. The doc did not know how I was able to walk into the hospital. I should have just fell down with nothing holding the foot bone to the leg bone.
Things are looking up.
Thanks again for all the pratyers and well wishes, I'm sure that they must have helped for someone "MY AGE" to heal so fast.
