I'm writing to let my friends know that after next week I willl be out of commision for a second repair of a right ankle compound fracture. Last November I slipped in my bathroon causing a frature of my fibula and complete tear of several tendons and ligaments. After a week in icu and 4 weeks in a rehab hospital the fracture was not healing and was worsening. This week xrays were taken showing complete frature and searing of the screws that the must have bought from ace hardware.This week I saw a specialist that was an expert on this type of orthopedic disaster. A week from today he will have to remove all the hardware and reconstuct the bone, ligaments and tendons to heal, First a lower leg brace,and new hardware. Ill try to keep my friends and allies posted!
