Just finished the latest round trip to Odessa. My doc was finally satisfied enough with my bone mending to give me the green light on light (30%) weight bearing for the next 5 weeks. My fibula is completely healed but the big ol' tibia still has a ways to go.
FYI - that first frankenboot they gave me cost my insurance company $250 and me $100...and I hated it because it was very uncomfortable and heavy. I bought this one from Amazon Prime for 80 bucks and my doctor and I both approve. 87,99,73,0,C

Very glad you're healing and making progress. Of course I gotta say be careful. Happy 4th to all!
OMG, how can you accurately judge 30%. Yes, be careful and happy 4th to everyone. And no drinking John. You might misjudge and overdo it. :-)
You can kick some serious beeehind with that boot....but then you'd end up back in Odessa I guess, so nevermind.
You are going to have as much time in with the erector set as I had with the bones stuffed back in the hole, set and a cast put on it.Sort of makes one wonder...BTW, don't get all cocky like I did and earn another 2 months of down time.
