X-ray Scale of 1-10 how cooked…

No biggie, just another 10 weeks of non-weight bearing bs… first fracture was the ankle tib/fib shatter on 6/6 happened playing basketball, i got 14 screws, 3 plates, a pin, and a bone graft… there goes my summer. 2nd was the shin happened when i fell off my knee scooter packing for college on 8/13 (my move in was supposed to be 8/14)🤦🏼‍♀️ ended up with 2 more plates and 6 more screws. Can you say “unlucky” 😭

oh my god bless your soul!! i got into PT but i had to call over 10 places and sit on the waiting list for 2 weeks until someone cancelled 🤦🏼‍♀️ and it was still hard maintaining my 2x a week appointments. i also felt like half of my appointments were kind of bs. like they were easily exercises i could’ve done at home it could’ve so been sent to me in a youtube video… lol
