After a month in complete isolation inside the tight cast, my ankle and the leg did some mending. Yesterday the Dr. Completed one phase of the recovery, my cast was taken off, ankle xrayed. The ankle seemed frozen, so sore. I kept thinking what would be my ankle's next protective cover.
My turn came. The Dr. Said no shielding anymore. Now simply attack the impossible looking hurdle. Walk! Fifty % bear the weight on the broken ankle's toes and go. On the Doctor's table my frozen toes, froze several degrees more.
Before I knew what was up, the Dr. Held my toes and twisted them saying there is no surgery there. The ankle has rod and screws. I screamed as he straightened my toes. The next task was to walk. Fifty percent weight bearing. The pain left every nerve in my body on high alert. I couldn't walk a step yesterday.
Today my foot walked.. Few steps. But one milestone achieved. Putting weight on the walker, using my good and broken ankle I managed the equation.
