Follow up appointment

I had a follow up appointment 6-7 weeks post surgery, after another x-ray I was given the ok for partial weight bearing. My consultant told me firstly to lift my left leg which I could do no problem, and then to lift my right leg. I was terrified that meant standing on my left (my operated side)! I really struggled to do it, after being conscious of putting too much weight on it for so long I found it really difficult to stand on it. It is a real weird sensation to start with, my leg just felt like jelly, and was quite tingly.
