Thanks so much. I started doing it and became afraid I was putting too much weight. I'm 250lbs so trying to put my weight on walker is diffisult. Decided to start again after Thanksgiving as to not be too stressed.
I so appreciate your response. Happy for .you and your progress

The doctor took xrays and said it should be flush with the brace/bracket. She didn't have a comparative same angle so I can't say it wasn't like that at surgery. Frustrating

I have been that's why I'm frustrated. She didn't say lay like a stone so I moved within the ability of the cast. If my ankle needed to be immobile it should have been in that halo contraption. Just venting.
