So this is how my ankle looks now, well it's a little bit cleaner now. Don't mind the leg hair, bare in mind that I had a cast on for more than a month! Anyways, I am so happy to finally have the cast off, now I just cant wait to start my physical therapy in a few weeks, then to be able to walk! My doctor said that I can try and loosen up my ankle before my PT starts, so i have beentrying to do ankle circles and a few other things, but it is still pretty stiff. The hardest part for me is moving my foot up and down. Well I assume PT will help with that, Im just anxious to get on with my life. If anyone read my first post, you would now that I had to have surgery on the 25th of January to repair some cartilage with 3 screws! It's kinda a funny story how I messed up my ankle in the first place. So it was like over a year ago and the day after Christmas I believe. My older sister was in the kitchen, so me being the annoying younger sister decides to run in after her and karate kick her in the ass. Well it backfired Big Time! I had my new pajama pants on that I got the day before, so when I went to kick I slipped, my foot totally slid right out from under mealmost took my sister out as well! When I fell I felt a lot of pulling and heard some popping. The first thing I said was OMG I think I broke my ankle, and my dad was just like, get up lol. I was limping for awhile, but it finally got a little bit better so I never really went to the doctors. Eventually my ankle would start to pop and give out on me on a daily basis, it was so painful that I had to go to the doctors like almost a year after i fell. Thats when I got the news that i actually fucked up my ankle and needed surgery. Oh well, at least it is over now, and I suppose I will be setting off metal detectors with all the screws in my body now! If anyone out there had a similar injury and willing to give me some hints on loosening up my ankle it would be greatly appreciated!
