LAST EDITED ON Jun-09-16 AT 09:21PM (MST)[p]I had two ankle surgeries (same ankle), they aren't fun. Worst part is not being able to bear weight for months. Good luck
P.S. must be some good medication to want to watch upside down people on TV.

Wow....that doesn't look like a routine surgery. Y is it still bleeding? Did you draw any good New Mexico tags you can sign over to me for medical reasons? I should have talked to you before your surgery. It might have been beneficial to me. I hope the recovery isn't bad.

It's not still bleeding. The OR put a mini vacuum pump to slowly pull fluids out of the wound. The device (looked like a compressed bellows) slowly sacked out the excess junk. When they took it off, the nurse spilled a bunch.
I can't remember what the white thing is. Had to look it up.

God.....that hurts just looking at it! I was hoping you were not going to take a picture with the bandages off!!
But nooooo....you had to show the gruesome stuff!!
That had to be a fairly long operation.

When they went in to fix mine, they just fused it with a few dry wall screws, and made me stay off of it for a few months. Feels like I have a 4 foot board strapped to my foot whenever I get on any kind of slope, but it is free of pain. Don't have much of a gimp either, so guess it was a good thing..
