: Surgery or no surgery
: Tim524 March 22, 2017, 01:54:42 PM
Went to an Orthopedic Doc. today about my ankle cause this is the 3rd time I have snapped / rolled it  >:( No fractures but definitely ruined from the last 2 times  :o The only way to correct the problem and limit the weakness is to do surgery  :( I asked him about recovery and he said 2-3 months and I would need to have a permanent cast this time  :o  Doesn't have to be done right now, but it needs to be done ! NOT THIS SUMMER, Doc. !  Got a new boot and hobbled out  >:( Looks like I get to wear this POS for the next 3 weeks  ::) >:(

You should probably just keep wearing the boot. Plenty of support, no more injury. Problem solved.

Maybe you can find someone with the same size foot that has to wear a boot on the left side and you can go halvsies on shoes!  ;D

You should probably just dip that leg in Bronze so it doesn't break anymore.  :-\

Heal up buddy!   You have some sharks to catch!
