Foxfold Posted January 17, 2020 Report Posted January 17, 2020 Glad you are healing well. It's hard now to do as instructed but it will be worth it when it's all done and you are as good as new again. smitty0312 1 Quote
meflick Posted January 17, 2020 Report Posted January 17, 2020 Well, I know that wasn't quite the news you wanted - re the non weight bearing and continuing with the walker, BUT at least the pelvis is healing well and that is the most important thing. Be patient, listen to the Doctors and care givers, and PT, etc. and don't do too much too soon and have a setback. Continued prayers said for you and look forward to updates with continued good news for you. smitty0312 1 Quote
