Title: Three week check up with Dr. Marwin
Post by: Woodstock Hippy on December 08, 2011, 05:14:16 PM
Wounds are healed, xrays are perfect.  Dr Marwin says it all looks good and I now have no restrictions other than no pounding sports.  I came home and rode the trainer for 20 minutes, I'll DRIVE to the pool tomorrow. 

This is Great!

He told me to loose the cane as soon as I want but I'm afraid of starting to walk funny and then have to correct that.  Right now I walk nice and straight and barely touch the cane, but I think I should keep it just a little longer.  Is it worth messing up my stride to get rid of cane early.

Congratulations Woodstock. This is a very big milestone for you! I'll drink a toast to you tonight. You are officially free to get on with your life. Fabulous!
