Still not walking on my own 3 moths post peroneus brevis surgery

I had my surgery in April and was non weight bearing for over 8 weeks. Stated PT 2nd week of June. It’s been about 6 weeks and still can’t put full weight on my foot . Using cam boot and walker to get around my house. Lots of pain and really painful when I use a regular sneaker. So far I’m 25% weight bearing in PT on the anti gravity treadmill. Anyone else have a long rough recovery? I’m feeling like I may never get my foot back again.

      Your right, I see or read about people that are far better than I am at this stage and I get discouraged. My doctor never really discussed the recovery with me . He only said that I would be fine in a few weeks. Had I been mentally prepared I probably wouldn’t be so discouraged.  Some days it feels better and I push a little harder, but the next day it’s throbbing again. 2 steps up then 1 step back. Thanks for your response. I’ll will remain as positive as I can.
