Physical Therapy

It had finally been six weeks after my Achilles tendon surgery. Yesterday Dr. Charlton said that I can start to put weight on my left leg - 10 lbs a day. So in two weeks time my left leg will be able to bear my body weight! It is unclear whether I still need crutches and my cam walker once my left leg can bear my full body weight, though.

My physical therapy is going well. For the past two weeks, I only did once per week; this week I was there three times; next week Mil said I can simply go in for therapy two times a week (instead of three like Dr. Charlton had ordered).

With school starting next week, I can't help but feel a bit nervous. Since my injury, I have not done much of anything; now that with full-time school work ahead of me and three engagements (Joey's Labor Day weekend visit, Carolyn's wedding in Nebraska, and Maggie's wedding in Ohio), I feel that my leg must get better soon or the travel will be simply too much of a burden...
