Hi Mark Kay aka Gimpy : ),
I am 32 yo female who was in a severe car accident in July 07 and underwent 2 unsuccessful surgeries on my ankle. On May 13, 2008, I finally had to have my ankle fused. I am still in a cast (6 weeks post-op), and my doc is saying he will likely keep me casted for 4 more weeks, then the walking boot.
I just had a couple of questions for you, since you had your's done so recently it must be fresh on your mind. First, when did you doctor start physical therapy? Were you still in the walking boot?
Also, do you walk with a limp when barefooted?
Where do you purchase your shoe modifications? My doc tells me my right leg is now 3/4" shorter than my left leg, so will definitely have to have shoe modifications.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thank you,
Jennifer
