Visited Dr. Ablove's office today and they removed the bandages and stitches from last Friday's first dorsal compartment release. Swelling is minor and range of motion has improved.
I think they tricked me when they said 10 weeks until recovery

iris i would desperately like to talk to you. my name is jo sanchez aka Get "JO" Ass Whooped of the Broward County Derby Grrls and i too shattered my ankle skating. i have so many questions. i will read your entire page but if you could email me so we can exchange numbers and chat that would be lovely. msjojo77@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI stumbled (no punny intended) across your blog after typing in shattered ankle recovery. I also spent 26 days in hospital with the whole external hardware and 4 surgeries...just released a week ago and getting frustrated that the swelling keeps coming back even when I put my foot down for an hour...seems like the only way to do this is accept that I have two positions; down with the boot for an hour and elevation for the next 2 hours. Geeeeeeeeeeez your recovery is taking a long time...do you think you will skate again? Reading your blog has helped me today at least with knowing I am in for a long haul...and looking to trick someone into getting the boxes of xmas decorations! Best Wishes
ReplyDeleteI am 29 yrs old and suffered a automobile accident febuary of this year (2010). I shattered my right ankle completly. My toes were turned 90 degrees towards my heal. I had external pins to my foot and leg. I just recently had the pins removed and a metal plate screwed in to my ankle. Now I am currently in a hard cast for four months. I am really hoping my recovery speeds up being that I am at no weight baring for over two months.
