ankle surgery update

well, as most of you know the day after xmas i slipped on wet grass on my way to float tube in MIssion bay and broke my ankle

Race Motorcycles? You could have come up with a "death defying" feet (pun intended) to describe the occurence of your injury. We here at the THP would have been none the wiser!

Nice Pinky Tuscadero. Now time to get off the sofa and go back to work :whistle:

BwaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaa.......almost made me spit up my coffee this A.M. Doesn't that pink clash satorially speaking?

Seriously, hope all mends well for you and your back "roll'in" quickly.
 
Gravity Kills, but grass just maims!!! Weight bearing exercise makes bones stronger.....but you'll get more advice than ya want I'm betting.Are you startin any seeds to grow?
 
I feel your pain Eric! Broke my tibia and fibula years ago, required surgery as well. I had a titanium rod inserted from my knee down to my ankle, plates and screws too! And I was only 24 at the time! If they ever give you the option to remove the plate and screws after you are healed, do it! You will HATE the cold if not.

Hope you have a speedy recovery and are back on your feet in no time! :)
 
thanks for all the well wishes! i am getting cabin fever as i have been sitting on the couch foot elevated for 98% of the time since 12/26/11 and i cannot wait to try to get back to work next thursday!
 
I understand cabin fever. Glad you get to go back in a week. Has it started feeling better? People get the wrong impression on people like me (stay at home mom) I love spending time with my daughter and watching her grow but being at home 24/7 except groceries and errands like once a week sucks.
 
i bet! and yes it is feeling much better, only taking 3-4 pain pills a day down from 2 every 4 hours. and i am an active guy! i would go fishing 2-4 times a week, and sit out on the balcony and play wiht the plants. and for me to be cooped up on the couch not being able to do it is killing me! lol I never thought i would ever look forward to going to work! LOL
