For how long were you constantly elevating?

For how long were you constantly elevating? I'm having my bandage taken of next week. 2 weeks after surgery. Hope that means I can go for short walks outside. For now I'm not allowed to go out in case of falling or getting the bandage wet.

It looks so small. Curious why you did it? I'm so tired of my fat feet months after my surgery.

Albertina Kellman Seems like it's very different depending on surgeon and maybe what exact surgeon you have. I was fully weight bearing straight away and can manage without crouches after a week but still use them in case.

I could put minimal weight at week 3 and then more at week 4. I’d say I was driving and walking a little at week 5-6 and went n a trip at week 8 but flying really made my foot swell and still not wearing shoes comfortably. It a long recovery so take it slow
