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.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486426878066949542.post-5699671593701256452009-09-04T11:57:43.382-05:002009-09-04T11:57:43.382-05:00I stumbled (no punny intended) across your blog af...I 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!
