I broke my right ankle 4 years ago. after the first surgery I developed plantar fasc. and couldn't put my foot flat on the ground. It took 2 more surgeries and lots of therapy to start walking again. After about 2 yrs I developed arthritis and dealt with it for a long time. I finally had my ankle fusion in April. As of yesterday, I just started with the weight-bearing with assistance with my crutches. I am very weary of how long it will take me to get back to full weight-bearing. I also am very worried about footwear.. I am a great fan of flip flops and other other open-backed shoes. I guess those won't work anymore huh? any words of encouragement?
