Ankle Surgery Update
« Reply #-1 on: April 17, 2018, 09:53:16 AM »
It's been a couple of painful weeks since the surgery on my left ankle.  I was told to NOT put any weight on the left foot for about the next three weeks.  This is really hard to do.  Thank goodness for ice and good meds.  I will be having the stitches removed this Thursday and start PT next Monday.  This entire ordeal having to deal with my insurance company has been almost as painful as the surgery.  Turns out we (actually my wife) knows more about our coverage than the insurance company.  I think I better keep her around.

My wife has been cooking meals since I can't do this right now.  She admitted last night that she will be glad when I can start cooking again.  The food she has prepared has been good.  All my meals have been small meals.  I haven't been overly hungry since the surgery.  I had my first cup of coffee this morning with breakfast since before the surgery.  My wife said this must be a sign that I am on-the-mend.  She might be right.

I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers during this "fun time" in my life.  Keep posting those good looking meals and photos.  They inspire me to recover sooner.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
I certainly feel for you. I have had four surgeries in five years and each time it laid me up for about 3-6 months.
It sure gets boring just sitting around.
Good luck.

Good to hear, Art.  Don't push it too much, though.

You'll be back on both feet before you know it ! ! !
