A return seems realistic
I'm recovering pretty quickly from the fracture and surgery. My ankle feels unbelievably better after yesterday's checkup, in which my lifeless foot was painfully contorted and the joint strained while the physician put on a new cast. I feel so good today, actually, that I no longer feel like a helpless and trapped invalid. As long as I continue to improve, I'll be able to leave my mom's house and resume my own life in Pittsburgh.
I got a glimpse of my joint in the x-ray room yesterday. I have eight screws of various sizes and a plate lining my diagonally-fractured fibula. Some of the screws are about two inches long and look like they belong in 2x4's. Of course this was very disturbing, but everyone in the room seemed impressed with the surgeon's job. Hopefully, I'll heal quickly and forget about this permanent deformity.
