Non weight bearing - are you home alone?
Posted , 4 users are following.
I am 3 weeks post op with a minimum of 4 weeks non weight bearing. I am lucky to live in a household with my hubby and 3 adult sons. They all work but have been great however due to an ongoing injury to my knee on my non operated side I struggle to use the walking frame and rely on a wheelchair to get myself to and from the kitchen or toilet. Although the wheelchair is a massive help to me I would be stuck upstairs (or vice versa) without the help of someone else. During the day I am "home alone" whilst they are all at work. Is anyone else having a similar problem? I wonder how people manage if they are on their own and are non weight bearing

it is a difficult time and basically you just need to behave and follow instructions. Pre planning of meals and access to what you need is key.
good luck with your recovery. It gets loads better as time passes and you get more mobile.

I am hoping at my next appointment in 5 days (not that I'm counting!) I will be fitted with the heel shoe and from there get a little mobility back (very small baby steps)
