Oh my goodness! That's awful! How are you doing? Are you in a lot of pain. if you don't mind my probing, where's the problem located? I guess the closes the book on a trip up here for a good while.
But I'll see you when your able to come up after you're all better! Take care of yourself!
I'm fine. There isn't much as much pain as there is more frustration. The both peroneal tendons in my right leg have a tear above and below the ankle, and the related muscle is the one that ruptured. Those tendons normally route around the fibula, but I don't have a fibula in that leg. My ankle is made out of my hip bone, and doesn't have ligaments left on the outside. So, when if roll it, since there aren't any ligaments to limit things, it can go too far and tear the tendons, and that's what happened again. I just had tears in those same tendons as well as an achilles tear repaired along with an entire ankle rebuilt yet again just under 2 years ago. It had been doing really well. Right now it's back in a cast, and we're waiting on a new plan since I don't have much more hip left for grafting and everything done on the ankle affects the knee (and hip, and back).
Oddly enough, I'll be playing better golf. In golf, being a righty, a proper backswing would put weight an stress on the ankle, which would make mine roll, so I can't properly "load up" without wearing my braces (which I hate and virtually never wear - in fact I'm not sure if they're in a closet or the attic). But, in a cast, I can take a better backswing and do a better job finding the fairways. Hopefully that continues to hold true since I'm playing Wednesday and Friday. I don't like to spend much time on the DL. Or, as Sally tells me, at least not on the
physically disabled.
Unless that's when the surgery is scheduled, since I can't drive, I'm hoping to fly up for at least part of the Reds series.
