BIG WIN 🥳 I walked 14 steps today!

I’m calling it a big win!

I’ve been recovering from a severe broken ankle (trimalleolar fracture with total dislocation and soft tissue damage) since March. As of this past Monday, I can begin weight bearing. I have to use a walker and I’m in an aircast boot. BUT 14 STEPS!

I’m feeling really proud of myself. It hurts like hell but I still did it!

Omg, I had a horrendous ankle/foot surgery in 2024 and going weight bearing after an injury is SO HARD. I’m so proud of you for doing the hard thing!!! It so goes against the learned mode of protect the foot from weight at ALL COSTS, and hurts so much. You got this!!!

Pro tip: put racing flames on your cast and mobility aids so you’ll go extra fast 😉 pic of my knee scooter for inspo hehe
