Tom is finding that it is hard work crutching around everywhere.
He is off to the medical supply store to get spongy pads for the part of the crutch that goes under his arm. He feels very sore there and even with tying on some cloth pieces - it is not enough padding.
Tom is back to work - he worked last week and this week at 50%.
Next two weeks he will be at 75%. And then full time.
He was released to drive at the same time he went back to work. Yah! That was a relief to me.
He is not allowed to put any weight on his foot yet - so no walking at all. We have x-rays in the beginning of July - and that will tell us how much bone has grown. Based on that we might have a plan to start walking. Tom feels he is growing bone like crazy! (His words!) He will sit in the chair and tell me 'he can just feel it growing!' Okay, honey!
Update: he didn't find the padding at the Medical supply store. They did find them on line but he wanted to see them before purchasing. No luck!

Glad he's able to work some now. I bet he feels great being out and about again.
