Ankle injuries are tough that's for sure. Heck, even a sprained ankle can be difficult to deal with. We rely so heavily on our knees and ankles to get around. It'll all work out. :)

Good news! Everything is healing apace, and she now just has a "post-op shoe", instead of a splint. She is doing remarkably well, and it looks like I won't have to spend nearly as much time waiting on her. She gets around really well all of a sudden, and since there are no steps in the house, it is safe and relatively easy for her to do what she needs to. I still have her on "light duty", but it is not the same as bed rest, to be certain!
alright! love the good news!
Glad things are going well. My wife is doing very well recovering from her fractured tibia, in spite of ignoring all of her doctor's instructions. She doesn't take her pain meds or her anti-inflammatory, she won't wear the really nice leg brace she was prescribed, and she's stopped using her crutches about 2 weeks earlier than the doctor suggested. Last night she told me, "my leg doesn't hurt much now, but my foot is still killing me." The foot pain was news to me, so I asked if it been hurting ever since her accident, and she told me it had. So I suggested that maybe she should have had her foot x-rayed at the same time as her leg. Her response was, "I forgot."Quote:

Other than this accident, how are things going down there? I must feel kind of strange after so many years in Fairbanks.
That's great news! That's amazing how quickly things turned around too. Awesome!
Awesome! Not too often things mend quicker than expected, congrats!! :p
Well, the law here is whatever you pay for it to be. Takes some getting used to. :)Quote:

I already told her that I've got an 18 Volt DeWalt drill and some 2 inch stainless steel screws, so we don't need an orthopedic surgeon, but she's still planning on professional surgery.
I think I'm still paying off my wife's hip replacement, and Younger Child needed $7000 braces plus some oral surgery. Every month I get medical bills, and I just write checks for what I can afford. I still keep pushing the DeWalt and a bottle of Cuervo Gold option, but I don't see it going anywhere.
