Since Allyson came home 10 days ago or so she has been working with a physical therapist and a nurse who both visit her at home to keep check on her health and make sure she is not loosing too much muscle while recovering from her broken ankle.
Yesterday was the first post-op appointment with the surgeon. They took off the splint off to look at the incisions and swelling. He was pleased with the progress of the healing, but opted to leave the stitches in for another two weeks. He also liked the x-rays taken yesterday, the foot has stayed in line so far!
Allyson is still not allowed to put any weight on, or use her right foot in any way yet. In two weeks when we go back to have the stitches taken out he told us that he will most likely put her in a special boot to allow her to start flexing her ankle a bit and doing some physical therapy with her ankle, but still no direct pressure.
Overall it looks like about four more weeks before she starts testing the weight bearing of her left ankle. The timeline is looking good so far.
