It did actually, thanks. Took a few more hours than expected to wheel me into the theatre, but once there it was all over in about half an hour.
Hobbling about on crutches now though and not allowed to drive for a week due to swelling limiting the range of motion in the joint (not to mention the oxycodon I'm taking for the pain) - it's becoming a little bit of an issue since I live a few miles out of town but I'll manage.
Hopefully I'll be properly vertical again in time to celebrate my divorce being finalised on Tuesday and then birthday two days later on Thursday. I think this coming week might see a few drinks passing my lips. :P

When they cleaned up my right ankle, I was capable of driving about a week after they took the cast off, but now allowed to for three months. I wasn't allowed off crutches for two weeks after they took the cast off. And I had six months of physical therapy. But then again, my ankle was a real mess, and I had a childhood Grice-Green procedure mucking up things.

This time around it was a fairly simple op to basically clean out a bit of excess material.
Although I'm not supposed to drive until 7 days after, I was back behind the wheel after 4. Hobbling about today with one crutch but have managed the last few days with none.
Physical therapy? Whatever I do for myself basically to get the joint moving again.

Yeah, I had to deal with similar after
  • Breaking Lower neck
  • Breaking Spine just below shoulder blades
  • Breaking Spine just above belt/belly button area
  • Breaking Spine just below belt/belly button area
  • Both Hips dislocated
  • Right Knee cracked (like an egg)
  • Dislocation of Right ankle
  • Twisting and bruising of Left ankle

Of course, it was more of a "broken bone and cartilage" but still could have resulted in break of spinal cord, and my father in his infinite wisdom and Irishness strapped 2lb's of semtex and pressure switch to the seat on my wheelchair, to force me to walk again.

8 years later and I still need a walking stick, mostly for balance though.

Its still impressive to me that you can walk at all. What caused all those serious injuries?

Blind corner and an illegal Indian cab driver, damn lucky a few cars down the opposite side was a police car, so I got quick medical assistance, but the Indian got away scot free, thanks to legging it.

Motorbike was a write off though.

Ah, now I understand. My sympathies. I spent a long time on crutches after my first motorcycle accident.
