I got my post-op x-ray yesterday, after 10.5 weeks of recovery. I have been using a cane and I felt good about my progress, so I was pretty confident the x-ray would look good. Since I read x-rays, I asked to see my own. The tech refused, and I was like, "I gotta see it." Finally, she relented and I had a look. I said, "See? No evidence of heterotopic ossification. It looks good."
So I emailed my doctor, and I almost told him what my findings were. But I just said that I was pleased. He concurred. So I am free to do full weight-bearing! Yesssssss! Eh, I pretty much already knew that. I'm still a little wobbly, so I might use the cane here and there. When I ride my bike, though, the leg feels good. Solid.

Great news Danny! I just mailed you and Heidi a Christmas card but I didn't know your new address so I got your business address off this blog and sent it to your office. I hope that works :)
Yay! That's so exciting! Glad to hear you'll be back on Little Bike in no time. :)
Happy to hear your great news!
Heidi must have been using my computer and forgot to log out...I'm happy for you!
HOORAY!
Yay! That's such good news. :)
We are so glad that you are back in fine form! It is always comforting when a surgery goes right! Glad you have them both done now and won't have to go through that again.

Woo hoo!! I just read over your blog and got caught up on your life. You and Heidi are awesome, and your kids make my heart very warm. I know exactly what it is like to be down and dependent on something just to walk. I celebrate this moment with you!! Cheers to you all.
