Well I had surgery yesterday to get the 7 screws & plate out of my fibula & they scoped around each side of my ankle area & cleaned up some scar tissue!
It is a major owie right now,that is why I am awake at this moment.
I am waiting for the wonderful pain killers to kick in.
It was outpatient,full anesthesia of course. I woke up nauseated of course from it. They had to give me 2 rounds for the nausea,never got sick though,whew!
Two of the screws were starting to protrude from the leg & he said they all need to come out from that side. When I had my hiking boots on they hit the 2 screws & it felt like a mild shock & could not tie my shoe!
The other 3 on the inside of my ankle on the tibia are good,they stay!
I never thought it would hurt this much,but thanks to wonderful medication I will feel great soon.
I do have to wear a walking boot for 5 weeks until those 7 holes in the fibula grow closed & have to use crutches this week to walk with!
Not sure if I will get to a game due to this!:(
So why was this weekend any different for you?
You were in bed, on drugs, and got screwed seven times.
Welcome back.
