Hey guys,


Had an ankle microfracture on 19th of november last year. Spent all that time pretty much in bed and slowly getting back into walking, i will admit i have gunned it abit since being able to drive again after 2 odd months.

I suffered a bad OCD to my talus (The cartalidge was torn from the bone and the bone beneath has been worn away)

Anyhow, my key question is that, i struggle to stand for long periods of time right now as its still early days, running is out of the question and id probably still struggle swimming. How with all this drama am i supposed to get active again? I mean work is going to destroy me, i recon work out of anything is going to destroy me, but for my mental health and financial health i need to return, i love my job and it keeps my brains very active and my hands dirty.

I've been dreaming while stuck non-weight bearing about walks in the countryside and all the cliche active stuff revolving around dogs and public footpaths and just need some sort of advice on how to keep active drop some weight and not destroy my ankle in the process haha.
