Impromptu office visit - don't be a wuss and walk on that leg

Today I went into Allied Orthopedic - Sean and Gael quickly brought me and Janae into the back office to help fit a hinged brace.
He said when we asked about crutches. You don't need crutches to walk on that thing. I am over here thinking that I should not be putting pressure on it and he says go ahead.
I realize that I have received all sorts of different advice from e hospital saying don't put any pressure on it for 24 hours then when I called in about the CPM device they said that no problem I can go ahead and start using it immediately so it was nice when Dr Sean showed up and described that I should quit using the Walker no crutches and just start putting pressure on it start walking. So I do but with the walker for a while important I just start walking around with a serious land and use occasional things around the house to put a little bit less pressure as it is quite painful.  
In a little while here I will get to move in on the CPM again and see if I can get it to bend quite a bit more. 
Kiss. I have been profusely pressure on it it will make it so that I have a slow recovery but the doctor's advice I now I feel comfortable that strong enough to handle it I just had to push through the pain and get to using it more.
