saw the dr and my xrays today... i broke the opposite ankle in half... that's nicely in place. need two screws to fix that one. the fibula was broken higher up, is all nice and screwed up like WHOA (ill try to get an image)... that needs a plate and screws. theres a ligament near there and i might need a screw through the ligament, tibia, and fibula. then i get a 2nd surgery to get the screws out since i have thin skin around the ankles and would have major discomfort in skates. It's a bum deal... 12 weeks if the ligmanet thing needs a screw... 8 otherwise. then physical therapy, a removal, etc... i really do think im out of beer league play until january. :( bummed big time surgery is on thursday edited to add: dont mean to hijack your thread, or anything.. hope you dont midn if i tag along ;)
