Dawn,
Sorry that you have to be a part of our group... Wish you were out doing all the wonderful summer things we normally do instead of propping your leg on a pillow and feeling like a couch potato.
You will find this site very interesting and the group is very supporting too.
I will be 8 weeks this Thursday. I fell in a small hole in the yard and broke my tibia in 6 places (spiral fracture) and the fibula as well. I am hoping by the 10th week I will be PWB (partial weight bearing). Just this past week the doctor allowed my to be toe touch bearing which allows me more stability.
Hang in there and keep us informed!
