Poor Ryan! Extra snuggles from my girls!
Sorry, Ryan, I've just managed to catch up on your thread!
It's a shame you had to have surgery, but it will be better in the long run, as will the splint!! (my friend broke his leg in three places and healed much faster in a splint than a cast!)
Sending lots of No Pain and Quick Mend }}}VIBES{{{ your way!

I'm not usually on TCS this time of day, but I came back from my follow up appointment for my ankle this morning and I'm quite happy. I got an X-Ray. Then an intern came in to see me and then the doctor who lead the surgery. I had thought I was recovering well, but I had some questions in mind that were answered before I got to ask as the intern began to describe what I should expect in the next year. My ankle is a bit thicker than the other and there's still some minor pain, but that's entirely normal and expected for a long time yet. What made me happy is that my flexibility and mobility is farther ahead than the norm. I can start running when I am able to ride a bike for half an hour. I've already been riding my stationary bike for a few weeks now (30 min) and even doing calf raises. I've been working out the rest of me too, so screw the 6 month recovery copout that they probably tell everyone. I think I'll have everything working like a well oiled machine by the time softball season rolls around, which is part of my New Year's resolution.
Keep up the good work and you'll be ready for the season in no time at all!

I knew you could do it! My friend had a similar ankle break, as I have mentioned. He broke it in December and was skiing on it by February.

Thanks everyone!
Seriously though, I'm going to stay away from heavy squats for a while.
It's so much easier to play hide and seek with Chasey now too.
She was getting bored of "limp and be seen"
To late. Earlier tonight I did calf raises with as much weight as I could.
I could easily enjoy skiing on it now, but I prefer snowboarding.Originally Posted by Deb25

Do you? I can't imagine having both feet tied to one board. I have enough of a challenge skiing (especially in FL, with no mountains or snow).Originally Posted by Hydroaxe
