But not tibia that was fractured. The foot swelled for at least 6 months after the operation. I did not put that heavy boot on after the operation because I felt that metals were strong enough and I was in wheel chair and crutches for a quite while. The metals are still with me and I have no intention to take them out. BTW, there was no problem to use the inured right foot to drive although I had problem to use it to support my weight.

Get the surgery done as soon as possible because if the fractures heals, they will break it for the alignment that is most important to prevent arthritis that may develops later on. So far I am OK about this.

As I talked to 病友 before, I felt some restrain now to move my right ankle although there is no problem to walk. I did not go for physiotherapy as suggested because I moved a lot at my work.
