Post-Op

Ankle repair went optimally. At today’s follow-up appointment I graduated to boot-only when I’m up and about/using my scooter. I don’t have to sleep with it on anymore! I am hoping this means better sleep. I’m also off of all rX pain-killers, and have been given the OK to switch over to Advil. Tylenol is all very well and good, but does nothing for inflammation. I was given two exercises. One to keep my ankle flexible, and one to keep my calf from atrophying due to non-use. Drains came out too. In 10-days the stitches come out. Oh, I got cool pics of the inside of my ankle too 😁.
