This might be the last time that you see me with the AirCast. Tomorrow morning I go back for yet another appointment at the famous and much loved Fracture Clinic. Hopefully (please, please, please!) this may be one of my last if not THE last appointment I have at the Fracture Clinic. I am able to put weight on my ankle now while it's in the cast, even managed my first "leftleg" standing on the right leg since I broke my ankle 10 weeks ago. I am pretty excited. I have been walking on it as much as possible in hopes that this means my Orthopaedic Surgeon will be able to hand me over to the physiotherapist and I can start the rehab on my ankle. All the muscles in my leg are in atrophy, I have no muscles or range of motion in the ankle at all, and it seems that it will be a long time before I can walk on it unassisted. On a positive note I did buy a cane today! No more crutches!

Well hope the ankle is gone to be good as new. You certainly were able to get out in about with the air cast. Way to go!
I just got back from a backpacking trip in Nova Scotia!
If you ever out this way check out Chignecto..Nice coastal trail lots of up and downs and suggested 3 or 4 days....
Good luck on getting back to full ankle freedom...
