![]() ![]() Thanks for asking! The transition to FWB in the boot went really smoothly. I'll be eagerly waiting for my turn to wean off of mine I hope it goes well for you at the hospital in 9 days. Good thing my right ankle injury (no driving) and my ridiculously long commute (about 60KM one way) precludes my having to take a cab from the eastern suburbs of Toronto to the western end of it. that must have been tough! I find it hard enough having the energy to put in my 8 hours from the couch. I can't imagine having to be physically present at work yet. I would hope that they would let you return it once you don't need it anymore. It seems odd they would take it from you before you are fully weaned off of it. I had to buy my boot (my extended health care plan covers the cost), so I won't have to give it back. I don't like that this care-plan indicates that weight bearing would help with my healing, yet I'm not allowed to do any for two more weeks I'm hoping to get in touch with someone at the fracture clinic on Monday to see if I can add any more different stretches, or at least start doing some toe-touch/touchdown weight bearing. I have the same stretches, just told to stay off it, which is a bummer. If I was in the UK I believe I would have been given the "weight bearing as tolerated" guidance as outlined in this care plan. I've been looking longingly at the advice given by the Virtual Fracture Clinic for my type of fracture ( ). It seems that the UK takes a more permissive/patient guided approach to weight bearing for stable fractures. I also had a feeling you might be from the UK. ![]()
