4 weeks of partial weight bearing with crutches

After having the prosthetic attached I was now at the stage to slowly start using crutches. I was extremely cautions after having the leg connected and would mostly stand in place everyday and would continue to use the scale for bone loading. I was not ready to put full weight on the leg yet so I was still not doing much getting around. From December 26th to January 22rd I would continue to spend about an hour each day standing and cautiously walking in my home with crutches. There were days were I felt a bit lost in my progress becasue I was not yet ready to put my full body weight on the leg and felt like I wasn’t really progressing. In my mind I was doing the same thing as I was doing before except I had the prosthetic attached to me now.
