I had a follow up appointment with my orthopedic surgeon today. When I arrived, they sent me for an x-ray to see if the bone was healing.
Thankfully I got the OK and am allowed to start walking without my brace on. When I asked when/how, the reply was that if I really wanted to I could walk out of the appointment without it! I wasn't quite that brave (still a bit wobbly without it) but am aiming at being brace free by this time next week.
In other news, he said I can drive again from 1 June!
The above pic is of the x-ray they took today showing the 2 screws in my leg holding the bone in place!
Oh and more news, I don't have the screws removed as they are new technology and don't have protruding heads and therefore are screwed in flush with the surrounding ligaments!
