Ticking time to heal

It’s now 24 days since I had my operation and I feel so much better! The lingering pain felt all day and night is now gone and for the first time, I feel my Achilles tendon pulling a (very stiff) calf muscle.

Since yesterday, I started bearing some weight on my right leg, which I consider a great breakthrough. As you see on the picture, I was told the operation would be largely “mechanical”, and also that it would take a long, long time, hence the watch cogs seen through the “x-ray”…
