Just an F.Y.I. ankle surgery Thursday

[johnniebear]

A few of you may know that on Thursday I get my R ankle repaired in Chicago-  reduction to my achilles, remove bone spur , install a screw & a graft.

I'm so ready to have pain gone.

Up at 4:30 am  
arrive at the Hospital at 6am
Surgery at 7:45- two hour surgery
Recovery,
I expect to be released by 3:30pm  just in time to hit rush hour..

It Looks like another year the Chicago Bears won't have me as their Kicker

I hope all went well for you today!  I am 4 weeks out from screw fixation placement in my L 5th metatarsal.  It went pretty well; really a fairly minor surgery, with just a small hitch in removing some excess scar tissue(which meant another small incision and more bruising/pain).

Recovery is going well, the hardest part is no weight-bearing for 8 weeks!!!  I am halfway through, and it has gone faster than I expected-thankfully.  I would highly recommend the knee walker(i.e. knee caddy) that I have been using most of the time-SOOO much easier than crutches, esp. with weakness and spasms in my arms and torso!!!

Good luck with your recovery, and keep in touch when you're able!

Be well,

Jen

Hey, Johnniebear. You're mid-surgery, now, Chicago-time. Hope everything goes smoothly for you, and that healing time is quick as can be.

Don't give up on being the Bears' kicker this year---just use your other foot!

Best wishes,
