Latest news on my ankle

[sunshine 2]

I went to the doc again last friday. I'm not healing as well as he would've liked, so I had to get another cast put on instead of getting a walking boot. But he did tell me i could put weight on my foot. I can walk short distances without crutches. Walking for the first time in 4 weeks was so weird. My current avatar is a scanned and cropped xray of my hardware. I have 5 screws and a metal plate in my ankle. The best part is, my current cast is pink & purple. I convinced the nurses to give me a two-toned cast.

You should keep your ankle above your head for proper healing.

Oh wait! That was for something else, NEVERMIND.

Bad Bryan!

I'm glad that you are allowed to do some walking tho.

Keep healing and I'll keep sending you the {{vibes}}.

Life is too short. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Sunny,

That sucks to hear that it's not progressing as well as the doc had hoped, but since you said in another thread that you're only grounded for 7-ish more weeks, I think that's good news! And it's good that you can put some weight on it, too!
I hope it heals up quickly!

Thanks Kel, and everyone else. I just need to keep my spirits up since being happy helps physical healing too (at least thats what Mar told me). I already had 3 friends call me today...wrongway, wingnut, phreezone calling in the middle of the day was unexpected, but awesome!! I have the best freinds in the world. I love you all.

Weight bearing after only 4 weeks! Great news! You can't be healing all that bad if the doc has allowed you to weight bear.

Hey sistah....be good to your little footsie!

My sister broke herself at the same time you did, in just about the same manor but did not require surgery (as of yet) but as I was visiting her this past week (and attending a funeral) she started not feeling well. Over 2 days it got progressively worse. Finally we took her to the ER and guess what...she had a frigin blood clot that traveled from her right leg and had worked it's way to her lung. THANK GOD we got her to the ER when we did. She was admitted and is now on a heart monitor, oxygen and meds to thin her blood and hopefully get rid of that clot. It was a very scary time, especially NOW knowing what was going on. She is not out of the woods but finally a little more comfortable - ever trying breathing very shallow for longer then 30 minutes? She did it for 2 days ...can you say "freak me out".

Just take care of that leg and don't try to be a "toughie" if something doesn't feel right. You just never know. We were less than a few hours from potentially losing her (right leg to lung in 36 hours).

Hugs to all......

Thanks Dee. I've had the "pleasure" of having a blood clot before. About 6 years ago i had such pain in my right leg, i couldn't walk and it swelled up. My guy took me to the ER where they found a 6 inch blood clot. I had to get a blood test every 15 minutes for 12 hours while they adjusted the level of blood thinners (which is why i hate needles now). I ended up in the hospital for 5 days. I was also told i prolly would've died had i not been taken to the ER. My orthopedic doc knows about my history so he told me to be sure and move my leg/ankle around at least every 2 hours to avoid letting the blood pool in my leg.
