Well, the Cliff Notes are I'm a stubborn dumbass.
And according to the doctor he can fix it but my PT is gonna take a while and I better not be climbing any more cargo nets. AND this is where I should probably go ahead and admit that Grumpy is a better man than me because he has not rubbed my nose in the fact that he told me I was being "unreasonable" not once. And I can freely admit that if the shoe was on the other foot -- oh, HAHA! -- I would be reminding him every 30 seconds just what a stubborn dumbass he was.

Well, reading the first part I was going to go into smart ass mode and say "so, hemorrhoid surgery?"
Then I went back and found some of the ankle posts.
Good luck with it.
I busted mine up back when I wore Green all the time. Should have been in the hospital in traction (they say now) instead of tying my boots tighter and "carrying on"!!
After my shoulder surgery, I'm a BIG believer in Physical Therapy after the surgery.
Don't scrimp there.
Good luck!!

Yep. I tore some tendons when I rolled my ankle climbing the cargo net at the Pawnee RNG 15 months ago now. Been wearing my combat boots and eating anti-inflammatories since then. Saw an orthopedic guy about 8 months after and he sent me to PT, which seemed to help some, but nothing has helped consistently and I always manage to wind up back at square one. My PCP did an x-ray and saw some "weird ****" and sent me to this ortho who sent me for a MRI. Guess I have a couple of extra bones that, now that the tendons are torn, keep cutting them. God only knows how much scar tissue is built up in there now because the steroid injection he tried didn't help at all. And JHFC! Did that thing SMART. I'm ready for him to fix it and move on. Of all the surgeries I've had this one is a walk in the park. It's the PT that's gonna suck. Cuz I'm not a petite little thing.
Yes, we are talking about the one and only same Billy.
We stopped attending due to mom needing more care and lunchtime is part of that. Wednesday is better than Friday for us if that matters...

Yeah, we need that Ballistic Biker dude to show up once in awhile--LFGST lunches just aren't the same without him and his heroic sidekick, Incredible Rod. We need to figure out sumptin'....
Luck to ya, kiddo.

Hold them down until they the apple sign comes on, then release. It might take a bit before that apple sign shows up, so be patient. Minute or less
