The healing is going very well. I got my surgery on Oct 30th. I’m in a lot of pain still, but I have a chronic pain condition, so I’m not surprised I still hurt so much.

I got a Maisonneuve fracture in my right ankle/leg I got a screw on the right side of my ankle to reattach a bone. I got a plate and two tightrope devices on the left side of my ankle to put my syndesmosis back together and to get my tibia and fibula back in place.

My surgeon seemed super pumped that I got this type of fracture. Apparently you have to twist your ankle in a very specific way to get a fracture like this. He told me all about it and he was so enthusiastic. He got even more excited when I asked him to take pics of the inside of my foot because I wanted to see it.

His enthusiasm has made the experience less terrible lol.
