Leg getting better- in Boot now, start rehab after 1st

Leg is feeling better and I am hopeful that I can start rehabbing and exercising after Doc appt on 5th.

Got this boot 2 weeks ago

AAnd it weighs a ton and is quite big and bulky. I always though I had big feet and but this thing is something else.
My shoes are 16-17 wide an here is a side by side:

Ate well since the injury and feeling pretty good physically so I expect to be at a pretty good weight when I get started....wonder whn I can go for a run?

Broken leg Chronicle

eating right and fixing broken bones. 9 screws and a plate can get in the way of an active lifestyle, work and all other activities.

Tomorrow I hope to finally get a cast, replacing splint number 3, which seems to be falling off more then falling apart. Maybe my leg was swollen a bit when i was there last week- maybe the 70 minute wait and sitting upright caused it.

Hopefully 3-4 weeks from now I will be allowed to start weight bearing and then rehabbing.

Starting ALL OVER AGAIN- after a Broken leg

@ weeks ago I took a "funny"step and 13 hours later ihave a plate and 9 shiny new screws in my leg(fibula-tibia).

Now I get to become a brand new runner ( in 8-10 weeks) and find a race to train for.
This is the leg with the 2nd splint on it. Cast is expected on Thursday and a boot in a few weeks.
The crutches will carry me until I can toss them. been eating well and lots of proper supplements.

more updates to follow.
