How’s the Ankle?
Pretty good, all things considered!
I am still looking at four more weeks before I am allowed to put any weight on it, but the range of motion is very good, and the swelling and bruising have receded quite a bit!
Pretty sure the bruise on my calf is from the aluminum brace. Luckily, I’m only HAVE to wear the brace when I’m up and about. I can get away without it when I’m home, or sitting still at work. However, if I’m moving around, I definitely want that added protection!
Still a fair amount of bruising on the outside, but all in all it’s much better than it was. The scar on this side is less “swollen” and uncomfortable than the one on the outside of my ankle, but I hope that will resolve itself relatively quickly.
Check it out! if you squint, you can hardly tell which ankle was broken!
