Now you are using right leg for walk like hop walk?
And then In July you will use left leg for walk?
How?is it still in recover phase?
I use both, right and left legs, and one crutch.
In july i will use my left legt and cructhes to walk.
In my operated leg i wear one boot and in the other leg one boot with lift to compensate.
I walk a lot during the day, 2 hours or more in the corridor, and biking 40 minutes per day.
I can extend my leg 180º and bend like before the surgery. I have a lot of tension in the calf muscle area and the achiles tendon area, but i don't have ballerina foot.

Glad to hear thaat
Hope you complete your diary without any problem.
Thank you very much.
I hope the other leg go as well like this.
Did you go home after the surgery? Do you life in Barcelona or somewhere else in Spain? May you list up your expenses so far? I´d be very interested about that!
Cheers!
I live 600 km from barcelona. I was 6 days in the hospital and then i went home.
Every three weeks i do x-ray
Do you know if there is something like a medical credit or something offered by the clinic?
In my case, I am missing around 10 000€ before I could do the surgery and have some money on the side for PT and complications. It'll probably take longer than a year for me to collect it and I'd like to get it done earlier.
Perhaps Dr. Monegal could inform me about that.
