Today I sit with my foot up on the seat of my knee scooter.
Yesterday, the Foot&Ankle surgeon I schedule for at the VA, put my ankle bones in place with plates and screws at the U hospital. Since I'm not enrolled at the VA, and Workers Comp doesn't play well with VA really even for employees. And my surgeon preferred to do it at the U, since he knew he'd have everything he could possibly use. My old OR, and vast majority of the people there are great.
Last Thursday, the elevator was broken when I headed down to clinic, so I took the stairs. On the last flight, while holding the rail in my right, and a cup of tea in a covered thermal cup, my foot slipped. Ankles should not be floppy floppy.
I proceeded to holler, partly because -ouch- , but partly to summon assistance. Which arrived very quickly, hospital people being who they are. Primary care, 4 of them with a wheelchair. They managed to get me up the stairs, and to Emergency.
So, what I'm saying is, I might be writing here a bit more over the next 8 weeks.
So, how are you? Anyone still blogging? Other than GZ, hi gz!
