Just got home from a quick detour through Surgery to get a brand new ankle fitted all done and home in 3 days, now for two weeks non weight bearing then four to six weeks learning how to walk again. Pretty damn good technology nowdays with pain not getting above three on a scale of ten.

My wife has a bad ankle, but I think her knee is worse off. Ain't medical science great nowadays? Years ago we would just have to "grin and bear it!" Now for the hard part ... doing what the physical terrorist tells ya! Zero Bubble, Shipmate! Steamboat sends

Mine sets all the bells and whistles off and all I have is a steel plate and 9 screws. I hope your therapist is as good as mine was; I asked her if I could dance after I was done with therapy and she assured me I could. I told her that was great because I sure couldn't dance before I broke the leg.
