It has been three weeks since I broke my ankle. A broken ankle resulting in a total of eight screws and a plate. I am so sick of television but there really is not much to do since my ankle has to be elevated at all times per doctor's orders. I have three more weeks until the walking cast. Ah the walking cast to say I cannot wait is an extreme understatement. The real trill is the day I can wear two shoes.
My dad came to stay with me for a couple of days and as luck would have it he is apart of the broken ankle club. Two broken ankles to be exact at different times. Good golly how does someone do that? Well that would be my dad who has some of the worst luck I have ever known. He had two flat tires at the same time. Those of us are so unlucky to have one flat tire but two that is a whole new bad luck level.
He told me to be careful with my diet as I am immobile. He had gained 30 pounds and never lost it. More to worry about as if this broken ankle was not enough. Well I am happy to report since my nasty fall I have lost diet. Now I count calories all day. Great!!!

Hi there Amber, I recently had surgery as well, 5 screws and a plate and going to get my staples out tomorrow and a cast. I wanted to know if it's painful and how long does it take for the swelling to go away? Feel free to email me, tippytop100@aol.com.Dave
