I had a left ankle fusion on August 6th. Had the post-operative cast removed, and a fancy purple one put on yesterday. Waiting for the foot swelling to go down to remove stitches. Pain is not bad. BUT, I find I am a floundering whale trying to get in and out of the house. Am not good on crutches, so cannot go up and down three simple steps. Can use a walker and wheelchair or my butt on the stairs. Any suggestions on how to get up from the floor to a chair or from a low chair to a walker? These seem to be nearly impossible tasks.
