They had me with full weight on it the day after my surgery... in fact, about 10 minutes after that pic was taken... Obviously with the immobilizer on it...

When I went to the doc a couple weeks ago, the told me I could ditch the immobilizer when at home, but I should use it for stairs and anytime I'm out and about (just in case)... By that point I was on a single crutch and I bought a cane immediately following the visit...

Now I'm able to hobble around without the cane and without the immobilizer... I've lost a full two inches off the leg muscles above the knee and I haven't measured my calf yet... I can stand with full weight on it, but it's wobbly... My leg is very weak and if I try to walk normal it wants to give out.

I'm not going to push it... I have almost full range of motion bending my leg at this point, but the loss of muscle is going to take a while to get back. Each day it gets a little better with me having more and more ability to lift my knee, my leg, and bend my leg at will... Here in a few weeks I'm going to start exercising it myself... The doc has no plans for any offical physical therapy...
