Update on my leg/ankle
a month ago

An updated picture of the breaks. The breaks have been circled to make them easier to see after I got new xrays today. I've broken my leg/ankle in three spots. Surgery was pushed to the 13th at the soonest, as they said swelling for a break this bad usually peaks 7 to 10 days after the injury. So I'm on full bedrest, keeping the leg elevated at all times to try to ensure the swelling goes down. According to the techs, I'm looking at 6-8 weeks of absolutely NO weight bearing, then a few months of a specialized boot and PT to try to gain a *possible* full range of motion. They are suspecting I will be in surgery from anywhere between 2 1/2 hours or longer. I will have a minimum of 1 plate and multiple pins, but they said with how bad the breaks are, I may require up to 3 plates to ensure my ankle is considered "stable" enough to support my weight. I also got the *wonderful* news, that I will be getting onset Arthritis in the ankle, in as soon as 2 weeks to 2 months. And that it will be a "lifelong" issue I deal with. So... yeah... Whoopie?
From what we have been told, Turok and I that is, I'll be recovering anywhere from 6 months or longer. My bunny is being an absolute hero right now, taking care of me, our hatchling, the animals, the house, AND working. I can't seem to win, unless it's the "Unluckiest Dragon in the world" prize >,<
