10 weeks after surgery: so long Doc

Today I had my 10 weeks after surgery visit to the Dr.  It has been 6 weeks since my last visit and about 4 since I dropped the boot.  Everybody at the Dr. was pleasantly surprised at how rapidly my recovery is progressing.  My calf is getting stronger and I am able to walk almost without limping.  Some swelling remains but it does not bother me.  My routine has been exercising in the pool in the afternoon and walking in the morning mixed with some stretching as needed.  I have been doing this progressively since I dropped the boot.  The Dr. told me to keep doing what I am doing and that I do not need to see her anymore.  She said that for most patients it takes about a year to get closer to full recovery and that many never recover to 100%.  I am determined to prove her wrong.
