Splint off, still no weight bearing

To those who were expecting more updates here I apologize.  I only add news when there is new information to pass along.  In this case we visited the doctor earlier today for a check-up on Allyson’s progress.

The splint wearing days are now behind us.  They also removed the stitches from the surgery.  While they were removing the stitches I went and started the paperwork for the removable walking boot.   Even though it is a walking boot Allyson is still not supposed to put any weight on her right leg for the next three weeks.  The boot is for the rigidity while the healing continues, but also allows her to wash her leg and do some stretching exercises with her ankle.

The doctor liked how the healing and progress that is happening.  Everything is still lined up correctly and the incisions were looking good.  The range of motion, while difficult currently, is also good.

The next update on Allyson’s condition will be a few weeks, after the next visit with the doctor.
