hey guys 👋
I know I haven’t posted for a while so thought I’d give a quick update on everything!
I have now been frame free for 6 months, it wasn’t easy adjusting to life without it and took me a month or so to adjust my walking pattern back to normal and not compensate for the frame being there.
The scars look incredible and I was so self conscious about getting my legs out in public and tended to wear trousers or black tights to avoid attention but I conquered my fear and it was absolutely fine, my friends reassured me that unless you knew the scars were there, they weren’t noticeable. (attached a picture of the leg for you to see) this is without any bio oil application!
I was in a car accident in January which thankfully I suffered no major injuries from and my leg doesn’t seem to have been effected by this, there’s a bit of ankle pain but I can’t be sure the cause of this.
I still don’t have full motion in my foot/big toe but this is considerably better than before so I’m hoping with some at home exercise I can regain full motion. I don’t have full feeling on the inside of my foot/ankle either but this could be linked to the nerve damage following the operation.
I was back driving within a month of it coming off and apart from heavy impact running and living a fully normal life again. It took a couple months to achieve this but hard work and determination got me there. It still swells occasionally but it goes down over night which is a bonus.
I see my surgeon again towards the end of this month and hopefully he’s a chuffed as I am with the outcome of the operation and can discharge me fully 🤞
