Progress from fusion on 3rd December 2019

[Brian Beitz]

Hi everyone. So mid April 2020 and since my surgery on 3rd December I am now walking in my Hoka shoes with no limp. By the end of the day my ankle aches a bit and is swollen but I am very happy to date. Surgeon tells me the fusion has worked really well. Physiotherapy helped me a lot with getting my walk correct. Surgeon told me it can take 12 months to fully recover. I had a subtalar fusion with a calf muscle lengthening plus a tendon transfer to replace my failed posterior tibial tendon. Am now driving again and doing mild gym exercises. Just have to stay positive and be patient. Best of luck everyone and also with covid-19. Cheers Brian
