Cage Free!

Frame came off yesterday.  Very quick, simple procedure, which I slept through.  Foot pretty achey, with some sharp pains in the inside heel area where the heel pins were.  They have it compression wrapped for air travel, so I can't do much with it until I get home.  Then walking boot for two weeks, and whatever feels good thereafter.  I haven't tried walking on it yet.  With the compression wrapping, the boot is pretty tight and uncomfortable, and puts stress on the bones if I wear it while using the knee walker.  I decided to stay off it another couple of days and get as much swelling down as possible before travelling home.  Then I can experiment in the comfort of my own home.  Sleeping is really nice without the frame.  I don't wake up to readjust pillows and props every time I change positions.
