Now at 4 weeks.
Everything has improved a little. Left leg pain is becoming more of a good ache but my right foot is still anoying at times. It does the ice cold number the moment I stop moving and now it sizzles....but I sat in the car for a good part of the day today. The bone graft donor site does not hurt except sometimes there is a twitchy neve at the incision site that gets iritated by wearing the brace and or the band of the pants. My walking endurance is improving and my back stays painless longer now then last week before I need that 15 minute rest, and it seems that left leg is causing me more problems now then anything in my back.
I met Dr. Zeegers today for a 4 week check up and the xrays show the implants to be in their original locations still, no subsidence into my soft bone. I am relieved. So is Dr. Z. who looked downright emotional to see me walking and in good spirits today. I will surely be back in 3 to 4 month for a personal checkup as its well worth the airline ticket if I can handle coach class which I am pretty sure I can by that time.
