I’m 5 weeks out from a open reduction surgery for a comminuted tibia fracture, I have a plate and 10-11 screws. I’m non-weight bearing still and moving around with a walker and wheelchair.

I feel like I’ve gotten so fat in the last 5-6 weeks because I’m doing no physical activity. Prior to this I was fairly active and walking 5 miles a day at least.

I feel gross and I’m worried about getting the weight off. Any activities or exercise I can do?

End of an era.
