oh good, I have Lil and IC on one thread...easier to round you both up this way.

Lil, It sounds like you are doing a good job with the non weight bearing. You really need to keep the leg elevated, though. It cuts down on the edema and pressure. The wheelchair has an attahment to keep the leg elevated. Even when you are sitting on the sofa, prop the leg up. As far as the walker goes, you really should invest in one that has the seat. I quickly looked at one on a walgreen's website, and it costs less than $200. There should be wheels ONLY in the front( with two rubber tipped legs closest to you), so the walker doesn't ever get away from you.
