Broken Ankle March 2009

Sharing some poor photos for my far-flung family... doubtful I'll leave this online for long.
Chronology:
3/14 fell off stool on driveway at 8am - went to ER
3/16 ortho/podiatrist x-rayed and scheduled surgery
3/24 outpatient surgery - metal plate & screws to realign the ankle, 5-inch incision held with staples
4/10 followup Dr. visit, staples removed, BIG boot to stay on at all times (except to sponge and air out occasionally)

the infamous stool from which i fell	3/15 the day after ER visit	3/24 unwrapped & checked it the day before surgery	3/24 putting the splint back on over cotton wrapping
3/24 splint wrapped in place with elastic bandage	3/26 post-op ice & elevation	3/26 spending LOTS of time in that recliner	3/26 splint & wrap
4/10 taking photos of myself in full-length bathroom mirror	4/10 big boot - still not allowed to put ANY weight on it	4/10 have to wear that boot for 5 weeks	4/10 even have to wear it in bed
4/11 took off boot to start a little clean up (this is the before)	4/30 closeup, yum!.. but healing nicely
