Surgery

So I had my surgery on September 7th. Everything seems to have gone well. After surgery they put a cast on my ankle and could NOT put any weight on it. All I could do was sit with my ankle elevated... it was quite boring. No working for 2 full weeks, doctors orders!

Ten days after my surgery I had my follow up appointment. The nurse removed my cast, took out my stitches and suture, and I got a walking boot. Funny thing was I still couldn't put any weight on my ankle. No weight on it until 2 weeks after surgery.

It's now been 2 1/2 weeks (18 days) since my surgery... I started putting weight on my ankle this week and even was able to walk a little bit yesterday. It's going to be a long process to be all the way healed, but so far everything looks good.

Below are a few pictures of my ankle after my cast came off... it's kind of cool.



More to come as my recovery continues. I start physical therapy on October 5th! Yay!
