Broke my ankle bones in two places....

Thanks so much for sharing with us GrannyJo....and so sorry of what you've been thru....I'm definitely heading down the same path as you did....will keep an update going xo
 
I take more than adequate amounts of cal/mag/vit D twice a day due to osteopena but it didnt matter in this case J....and I also have had a few falls with no repercussions till now....thanks for the healing vibes from you sent my way xo

Awww...that's hard PopsnTuff, and during the holidays no less.

Time to take it easy and let family take care of you.

You got that right Lara......they're waiting on me hand, foot and ankle, hehe....and the holidays will be a real challenge but I'll get thru it...
was making a whole turkey day dinner tomorrow and celebrating my son and grandson's birthdays all in one but the festivities wont be like Mom here is used to doing....we made this a family tradition since last year, since son, wife and her fam are together over an hour away on turkey day so we're gonna do the weekend before....to hell with the correct day right?....got some presents for them, lots of hugs, but I'm afraid the food will be take out chinese....and whatever else they bring :)

I did something similar when I was a teen, falling down some concrete stairs , to this day my right ankle is weakened, so it's more painful than the other if I go over on it..

Oh no Holly you too....thanks for sharing that and the get well soon card, luv it....the pain is bearable at times and Not at other times but the worst is yet to come with Physical Therapy, ouch, yikes is right.....hope I dont start cussing everybody out to back off, hahhha.....I'll try and behave :)
 
Thanks Trade....as they say, wouldnt wanna trade my issues for somebody else's....would be too hard to manage and hope you're feeling better with the plantar fascitis, as what is that? xo

I should've never been there on a wet slippery slope packed with mud....I was covered in it going to the ER...looked like a little kid having too much fun in the puddles with my foot turned backwards, ouch.....what a site I was....

That's got to hurt like the dickens !......I hope the surgery and healing process go well.

My foot went completely numb so never felt much but afterwards, holy moly, while the doc repositioned it.....no words for that....and thanks for the healing wishes Ike....every little bit helps hearing positive messages sent xo
 
Update ~ Surgery for the repairs is Monday, Nov. 19th at 10:30 eastern standard time....will need a plate with screws, and pins into both sides of the ankles....stitches out ten days later.....like I said earlier, the PT physical therapy will be gruesome and take about six weeks minimum or more, oh joy, I cant wait....they push to the outer limits to help with the healing process, as I know so well and back to your house to continue forever....thats the trick, consistency every day....we'll see how I weather this storm....I want my Mommy, hahha.....
 
Glad their going to do the surgery that soon, hope it goes well, will be thinking of you and sending warm thoughts your way. I don't envy you, I know the pain must have been intense especially when they reset it. I was hit by a car when I was young, and one of my injuries was a broken ankle, not anywhere as severe as your break, but I remember it was very painful.
 
Years ago my wife slipped in snow had to have a in installed. The pin is still still in her ankle and once in awhile she bumps it and it hurts.

That might happen to me too Jim....bet your wife lets out an Ouch, Ouch from time to time....no fun there :(
 
I'm so sorry PopsnTuff….I know it's a real Ouch and More....I've sprained my ankle many times in my life..

As a teenager I did break my ankle and had surgery....My left ankle is smaller then the other ankle....

Be Well....

Thanks P....Im now wondering if my shoe size will be smaller on one side after the healing takes place....does that mean I'll have to wear two pairs of socks just to get an even fit? lol......
