Sign in to disble this ad
This is just after, on February 4th. It's now 24 days later. I'm able to walk with a boot, but it tends to concentrate swelling right at the front of my ankle. That, and walking on it (which I am supposed to do, YAY!!!) tends to leave it swollen at the end of the day. But it's feeling better every day.
Here's how it looks today:

The ankle was not being held together all that well and the fibula fracture was separated enough to require fixation. There is 8 screws (7 short, and 1 long) and a plate in there. The long one goes between my fibula and my tibia. My ankle is feeling great, though still a little tight.

I'm just glad I didn't mess up my ligaments that bad, apparently I just stretched them a bit. I really am very satisfied with the results.
