The Bionic Ankle 4 week update

It has been 28days since surgery,  17 days in the green monster and now I am now looking at a 4 week stretch with Clifford the Big Red Cast around my leg, until the next check in. I am beginning to get some normalcy back in my life.  Off the heavy drugs, so the fog has lifted, more mobility, balance, ability to  converse on a coherent level and in general know what the hell is going on in this world.

Meet Clifford


 All is healing as planned.  It appears as though I do not have as much metal in me as originally suspected.  I will not get an xray until my next visit (safety concerns they don't want me to glow in the dark).  I understand there is the original post one heel screw and 2 screws through the shin bone. The outside of the ankle (the one with the biggest scar) is where all the rebuilding was done and the bone wedge was taken out, so my foot would lay flat again. 

bbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

POP it's open

AAHHHHHHHHHH

FREEDOM YEA 

This is the side they did the majority of the work on to level my foot and square up my frame

This is the entrance for the rod, the area to the upper left is bruising























If you grit your teeth and show real determination, you always have a chance!
