June 23, 2010 subtalor fusion with calcanus osteotomy
Recovery Plan: minimum 12 weeks hard cast – 2 months walking boot putting us into late December.
Today: OUT of the cast and into a boot AS NEEDED! Yes, you read that correct AS NEEDED.
9 weeks and 1 day and she is out of a cast and boot!
Sadie still has pain, swelling and is not able to use her ankle to full capacity yet, but that will come with more and more use. Her bones have healed… they look amazing and her body obviously has responded well to the surgery. Dr. M said to expect pain, it was a major surgery and it takes a long time to recover… he said pain could be another 6-8 weeks; not to be alarmed and to just read her body. He said Tylenol and pain meds are appropriate as needed, but only if needed and the boot is there as a cushion for bad days as needed.
This is nothing short of a MIRACLE… seriously who would have thought????? Oh, wait… God knew! Thank you for all your prayers and for those who provided meals, cards, activities for Sadie to do and support and love! Thank you, thank you! God is Good!!!
We were SO THRILLED to hear this and are glad you are doing so well. Truly a miracle. We are continuing to pray for you Sadie.
