My ankle is fractured and experiencing some sort of rotational separation.

I'm going in for surgery tomorrow morning; I have to have a metal plate screwed into my leg, permanently (for now).

Ouch! What's the prognosis? That doesn't sound good...

[wushuzac]

It's 3 weeks no use, then excercises, then 3 weeks later p.t. or something like that and weight bearing. He said 3 months until real physical activity, and 6 months until it's pretty good. But tai chi pretty soon (like, 4 weeks). Or something.

But no cast, just a removable splint and a metal plate on my bones. (Showers!)

Well, the showers are definately a good thing.

Good luck on the surgery.

That sucks...ass.
What did you do?

Ooh... Maybe you can get someone to bathe and shower you... WAIT, that doesn't sound pleasant at all. Unless the person is magical.
