Last appointment was 2/17. X-rays looked good - initially when I first saw them it looked like not much improvement from the time before, but the doc zoomed in a bit and did some contrast stuff and it looks great. It's not totally closed, but it's very close - about the size of the tipe of your mouse pointer - compared to what it was initially it's tiny. The doctor was a bit suprised that it wasn't totally filled in after 8 weeks, but was happy that it was continuing to progress. Next appointment is 3/17 - he expected things to be closed up by than, and I can start thinking about running. He also said that if the fracture wasn't fully closed than - we can talk about returning to running as long as I am asymptomatic - because it's likely that between the screw and any fibrous material the fracture is stable, and after 12 weeks it may just be "done".
Still in the boot, but full weight bearing.
Was cleared to start swimming again - no push off's with right left. Continuing to cycle - slowly getting strength back - rode 90 minutes on sunday.
I am starting to feel a bit of apprehension about running - no matter the result on 3/17...how will things feel? how fragile/sturdy is it? etc. Got a big mental block to overcome.
