you're not eating right now because i've finally downloaded some pics. don't say i didn't warn ya!
this is a pic taken a few days after the surgery. i love reading the sunday paper...but without the lower left leg adornment. so this is what it feels like to recuperate from a double break and totally detached ligaments. hmmm...where's my worst enemy? i've got some wishes!
got a visitor. sophie's only nice because i save scraps of meat off my plate to help fill her belly, which could double as a sausage casing. she's returning a favor; i spent a week w/ her on the loveseat when she first entered this home, all skinny and coughing. now i'm the pathetic one ;)
the area right beneath my kneecap to my toes is a technicolor bruise. this is the side of the ankle that had to have the ligaments reattached. the pain was pretty sharp for a couple days, but it has been a non-issue for a couple weeks now. next step is to remove the tape covering the stitches...ewww!
of course, this is the star of the show. you get a good idea of how long the plate is and its six screws. the pain has hovered between 2-3 for awhile. i'm just wondering when it's all gonna resemble a leg again so i can hassle everyone at the airport.
nothing like a side-by-side comparison! this is what the leg looks like after a long (and liberating) warm shower. i know i probably shouldn't have kept my leg down for so long but do you know how much dead skin came off? i had to scrub the sole three times...flake-o-rama!

Yummy! Looks like a damn good time...
Impressive! You must have had a good surgeon, because my brother's ankle looked much worse after his three surgeries. And his surgeon sucked.
I'm so glad the surgery is behind you!
Sophie is adorable.
When I saw that first photo all I could think of was..."bow chica bow bow..."
Now get thee to my blog and answer my poll question.
Ow! Hope your leg is feeling better :)
