Chapter 48

Tank

Hearing the surgeon speak isn’t making me feel much better. If anything, it’s making me feel worse. This is a longer recovery than I thought it would be.

“Six weeks before I can bear weight on it?” I question to make sure I’ve heard him correctly. Fuck me running.

He nods. “That’s right, Trevor, could be sooner though, everyone heals different. I’m giving you worst-case scenario. Keep in mind your six weeks started while you were in the hospital. You’ve already survived a portion of it. At six weeks we’ll make a decision if we can take off the cast and outfit you with a brace. Provided everything is going well, you’ll be able to bear weight, as long as it all looks good, and along the way we’ll work on getting strength back with the physical therapy. All in all, if things go well, I’m looking to get you back to work in twelve weeks. You’re strong and in good shape, we may be able to move that time frame up.”
