Health, Broke My Ankle

Broke Ankle

About 5 weeks ago I broke my ankle, yes ouch! I was standing in the kitchen next to the countertop, momentarily lost balance, legs collapsed, and I went down on top my ankle and whack, broke it. 12 screws and two plates now hold it together.

Last week it finally felt better but still have to walk with a walker to keep weight off it. Monday, I see the doc for x-rays and hopefully can return to somewhat normal.

    Thank you. I was at the doc today and all is well. I can walk without the walker and do about anything except heavy lifting or "jogging!

    1. It is going well. Have to go back to the doc in 3-4 weeks for a final checkup.

  5. Wishing you a speedy recovery Mike. If possible try and work on leg strength when recovered. As we get older leg strength is very important to a decent quality of life.

    1. Yes I have noticed the legs weakening and plan to workout to regain the strength of the whole body.
