Of course the first thing I did when I got home was take it off and put a shoe on, it actually felt quite odd. I felt like I was going to roll my ankle with every step.....think I have a bit of conditioning to do to my ankle to strengthen it again.
I added in some pictures of my xrays post surgery, they are quite self explainatory I think, you can clearly see the screws in place that seem to have done their job. Thankfully the bone has all healed up quite nicely, although I do still have a bit of nerve damage that is still there from the originial injury and also the surgery. Quite a bit of the top of my foot is quite numb, and other bits are just tingly when touched in the right spot......My surgeon thinks this will still return with time, although if the only residual effect I have is a bit of numbness then I can tolerate that, better than ongoing pain (although it just means I have to be more diligent with looking after my foot considering I can't really feel part of it!)
So all in all, a good day here. Getting the boot off has just come in time, with my growing girth, it was getting rather difficult to get the boot on and off everyday - lots of grunting and groaning going on when it came to getting it on and off!
