Let me know how that ankle replacement works out -- I'm considering one.

Fortunately it's just a clean out of the joint not an entire replacement. It'll be nice to be pain free again for the first time in a year.
I'm currently laying in the hospital actually, next on the list for surgery. Give it half an hour and chances are I'll be unconscious.

That's dedication to computing. A half an hour away from surgery and still at the keyboard!

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.

Don't know about ankles, but I've at least one knee replacement to look forward to some time in the future Hopefully I'll be able to hold off for a few years yet, but it'll happen one of these days
