Where's Dave? (10/21/11 update in post #80)

Missed reading this thread until I was reading about the missing Ride and saw you were missing too. Hope all is coming along well with your recovery!

 

[Swice]

Get well

Looking forward to hearing an update that you're "repaired."

Blessings,

Many thanks for all of your well wishes and prayers.

I'm doing V-E-R-Y W-E-L-L!

I had my second follow-up with the surgeon a week ago (a month after surgery). He surprised me by saying I could start sitting up, begin putting some weight on the repaired leg and get rid of crutches as soon as I could walk without falling. The crutches went bye-bye a few days later!

I started rehab this week and hope to be back to all regular non-strenuous activity within another week or two. Getting back to vigorous distance running will have to wait, but the surgeon says light jogging is tentatively on the agenda for my rehab in another 6 to 8 weeks.

Bottom line: I'm thrilled at how my recovery has gone.

Thanks again to all of you wonderful TUGgers.

I never look at the Marriott board, so didn't see this thread.

Good to hear that your recovery is going well, Dave. I'm just a few years older than you, broke an ankle in May, and it took forever to heal, even though I am very active with biking in the summer and cross country skiing in the winter. Wishing you a continued speedy recovery.

That's such wonderful news!! Sounds like you are on the road to a full recovery

Congratulations Dave! I am glad that you are able to sit up and start walking again. However, I would recommend not pushing the walking unassisted by crutches or a cane as it is easier to fall than one thinks. I would stop at Walgreens and get a cane - one with a flat top is great as you can use that flat top to position on your foot to help swing it around to get into cars or onto a high bed. Glad you are recovering. Best of luck. Janette aka Funtime

Now that you've had yet another week of recovery and therapy, I was hoping that you were doing even better!!
