thought I would be in plaster for six weeks following op then in a walker boot. Feeling very down as I still can't walk very well and the end doesn't seem anywhere in sight!

Wow....hundred mile walk, that's fantastic. I know I have to be patient but you just want to get to the next stage. I suppose I thought it would be three months or so then back to normal. It's my first experience of surgery and I didn't realise how difficult it would be.
Thanks for your encouragement!

I'm 270 lbs and after the same surgery she has me PWB, but I'm afraid after 7 weeks it's too soon. welcome thoughts. I keep hearing people off the leg for longer and I am sure you all are lighter

It's good to hear other people's experiences good or bad. I've read loads of articles about the op but they're all about standard recovery which is not real life. It's good to hear actual experiences good and bad because you then realise you're not the only person who doesn't fit with the standard recovery time frame.
Hope everything starts to improve soon!

Good luck with everything!
