Hi bupster,
Glad to hear you're up and about - don't do too much too soon as it will take a bit of time.
Did mine at 50, 16yrs ago - I slid down a bank and smacked a tree [ don't ask ] ..... have
pins , scews, and a plate - always wanted to set the alarms off at Heathrow but never did !
Used to crawl round the garden when in plaster and have to wash it with Fairy liquid to get the green
off. Will say, ' if you don't use it - you'll lose it ' so keep up with the Physio, i still do my ' rotating '
excercises- don't know why , but it used to stiffen something chronic in the early years [ old bones ].
To encourage you, once well healed my ankle has not stopped me from doing anything -- I dig
away and don't give it a thought.
Just to add, the prognosis wasn't good apparently , and a very soulful surgeon came to tell me
that he ' had done the best he could ' , I shook his hand and thanked him for every thing he'd
done.
He was from Iraq -- and we were at war at the time.
