Hi to the Jan.11, 2015 writer: You are just at the 8week post op point, and I think it was still a painful period. I remember being in shock when I first walked without the boot; I believe they had me wait till I was 10 weeks post op. Can't remember now. But it was more than a year before I became grateful for the surgery. Took my body a long time to adjust to the unnatural lack of movement in the foot. Please not the cautionary tale in my writing about the subsequent hip damage. The hip PT is extremely important for post op ankle fusion - I believe it should be continued forever. potter cheri
