hi upgirl
we are twins. my brace is the same. very heavy on my left leg. I use a walker in the house. my walker is awesome. so much more stable than the crutches. I have only gone out one time as I already fell so it is scary. I use a toilet riser seat. which is awesome. I have my 3 week appointment. did they tell you how long you would be in the brace?
take care.

I will be in a brace set at various degrees for at least 8 more weeks. It is very hard to sleep in it and put a soft blanket between my knees. I still sleep with my leg slightly elevated.
I am used the crutches but could see a benefit to a walker. The knee scooter is going back to the loan closet on Monday. The back of my brace hits the back of my leg.
This is a horrible injury and long recovery.
Stay safe and hopefully you will get out of the house soon.
Keep us posted aa how your pre op appointment went.
