I've been a long time / monthly supporter, but haven't been active much since Covid.
In May I broke my left tibia; spiral fracture, and a minor ankle fracture. The surgery/hardware install all went fine, I still can't walk though - currently under the care of my surgeon & physiotherapist.
A long story short: I hope to log progress here.
So far I've been (mostly) following all the advice, but had a couple of setbacks (fell once and a couple of stumbles that interfered with healing), so took a week off from all activity.
That was two weeks ago.
On top of what's been recommended by my physiotherapist for lower-body recovery, I've been doing some resistance band work for my upper body, too. Came across Arms of Steel today and it looks like the perfect addition since I'm limited to the couch.
The plan is as such (obviously will be modified as strength increases and walking can begin):
