This ankle surgery thing is serious stuff. Having helped my wife heal from a nasty ankle break last memorial weekend can relate to the efforts needed by someone during the healing process. We wish you as speedy of a recovery as possible. Not sure if the photo comes through but if it does it is to demonstrate the amount of hardware my wife is now the proud owner of. I hope yours was less stressful than hers was.

Not sure why I didn't mention it until I saw this picture, but I shattered my ankle 18 years ago falling off of a roof.  I don't think about it much now, but one operation followed by 8 weeks in a full leg cast and eventually another surgery to remove the hardware has brought it all back.  The part I remember most is that my wife went into labor prematurely (eight weeks early) six days after my accident.  All of us made it through the ordeal and are healthy now.  I guess that is the part to focus on.
