WBAT
Most of you probably do not know the acronymn above. WBAT stands for Weight Bearing As Tolerated. And after meeting with my surgeon today, that is exactly what I am ... sort of. He still wants me to gradually ease off the crutches and maybe go to using one crutch and then a cane and then gradually to nothing over the next few weeks.
But basically, the point is that the x-rays that were taken today looked good (except for the 3 scary 2 inch screws in my hip). The bone hasn't fully grown together completely yet, but it will over time.
Still, it's nice to be WBAT. Although I have to admit that it does remind me of a former UCLA co-worker who always referred to it as "way-bat", which drove me crazy! So, I have mixed feelings about the whole WBAT thing. =)
