Broken Ankle

Well on tuesday morning (march 11th), I broke my ankle in three places. I was riding my bike and hit some ice and crashed.

A nice jogger girl called the ambulance and helped me out. Thanks Sydney!

Accident was at about 9:45 am, and I had surgery at 4:30 pm. My first surgery and first anesthesia. Glad I woke up!

The bugger wouldn't stop bleeding for 3 days after the surgery. It finally stopped a couple days ago, and I feel much better.

It will be 6 weeks of no weight-bearing, then physio. I'm rocking the crutches.

Ok nap time.  Smiley

Sydney was 22, so that makes her 24 years my junior Smiley
The funny thing is, she seemed familiar to me, or maybe that 20 minutes waiting for ambulance is just burned into my memory, making it seem like deja vu.

I do have plates/pins/screws, not sure what, I do want to get a copy of an x-ray somehow.

I have this walking cast:

which comes off, but only when the nurse visits to change the dressing.

I have a vid of the foot when the dressing is getting changed, I'll get it up here  sometime.

nap time again, lol.

Man sorry to hear that H. Is your head okay? 
Is your bike still functional?  I know you build pretty decent bicycles. 

I hope they gave you some good meds.

Heal quick!

Where are you again? What country? I just now read all of this. Sorry man about the break. You should know that you are way too old to ride a bike. Just like i was way too old to hang on to a goal post and ripped my shoulder out about 3 weeks back. Just for hanging from a pole like I was going to do a pull up. Sheeeesh! Get better Helen. Tell people it was a war injury.
  

~Peace~

You know Hermskii, if and when I meet you some day, I'll probably die from Laughter as we converse. Shocked
I am serious!
It is very hard for me to keep a straight face when I read some of your posts. Cheesy
