Ankle update w/ pics

I got my cast off yesterday and was given a boot for the next 4 weeks. I've still got a long ways to go, but making progress. I can start putting weight on my foot a little bit at a time. I start physical therapy next week. I got to see my ankle for the first time in 2 weeks! It is a total cankle!! Here are a couple pics from my phone of my poor ankle.

This is my new boot.

One of the Scope spots.

Two ankles!! I haven't seen them in weeks!

Cankle/incision

Incision with another scope spot.

It felt so good to have that cast off! My leg was a hairy monster! It felt good to finally wash it and shave it. I now feel more human again :)

Surgery

I finally had my surgery on the 27th. It wasn't anything big, but it still sucks! I had a lateral ligament reconstruction (I think that's what its called) in my left ankle. Now I've got a big ol' purple cast on my leg! I've got to wear the cast for 2 weeks and then they are putting me in a boot hopefully and not back in a cast! I hate the cast! It itches and is so heavy! I had a week off work and now I'm back :S It was nice to have a break and be taken care of by my sweet family. Here are a couple pictures from the surgery.

Ready to go! Here is the after with my big ol' cast!

One fun thing about casts is that people sign it which is fun :)

On another note my face is slowly starting to get some movement into it!! The day of my surgery I could raise my eyebrow and shut my eye(if I really scrunched it)!! So the end is in site! Thanks to everyone who has visited me and giving me love the past while! It means so much to me!
