RogerDuke Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I just spent the night in the hospital. I haven't done that since the day I was born. I damaged a tendon in my left foot 6 months ago and got it fixed yesterday. The complete recovery might be 6 months too. That's how it goes when you age. One simple twist of the ankle can mean a year to get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Glad to hear you're "fixed" and on the mend, Roger. BTW. It doesn't just come with age - I know someone who was about 1/3 of your age when she hurt her ankle in a sporting injury. Two years after the operation, it's still giving trouble.

RogerDuke Posted September 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Thanks. I'm home and getting used to the crutches. Now I just have to avoid infections and blood clots. I've never been inactive my whole life so this will be a challenge. I'm going to have to watch a lot of Dukes to keep my sanity.....with a little Bo Duke dancing with the stars thrown in there.

(which would explain why you added "and on the mend") Thanks for the well wishes. I got the permanent cast on this morning. I'll have it until Oct 10 when they'll replace it after removing my stitches. One of my 3 incisions is almost as long as my foot.

Andrew D Charger Chaser Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Blessings and healing! Ain't fun....as a famous veteran survivor I know often says, "If you've got your health and money, you're doing fine. Then again, I wouldn't know about the latter...."
