Ankle and 1 year surgiversary update

Nov 10, 2009

It has been a while since I did any updates.

Life has been hectic to say the least, working all the time and barley time for the gym. Wieght has been steady, between 230 and 239 depending on the scale I.m on and wat week it is. I really think my scale is broken, it moves down and the others move up.!?

Get back to u in a minute.

Ok I'm back. I know it has been a few days since i started this.

Well in those few days. I had... dam pager brb Again Several days later. Let's see if I can get this done.

I went for my onhe year follow up Officially I am down 114#s since sugery 125# since consult. Still want to lose about 15 to 20more, If I could I would love to c 199 for about a day or 2. That wat be so nice.

Everything from the dr was good. Got to get blood work and then I can put this part of my journey in the win colum(SP)


I am seeing a specialist for my ankle, the ortho couldn't help. I have a bone that is deformed and pushing on my Achiles Tendon, causing the pain and I have Advanced Arthritis in 3 bones oin the same foot. He is advising surgery on the tendon and leaving the other alone for now. Here's the catch. It is 8 weeks out of work. I can really use that but and the big BUT. for the first 2 weeks I have to lay on my back so my foot heels. no movement wat so ever. As he puts it. eat sleep, shower and watever in the same position for 2 weeks. and he stressed no movement. then 2 weeks in a non weight bearing cast and 4 weeks in a weight bearing cast. Not happy about that. The new brace I have doesn't work as good as the boot, But I can't wear the boot to work. I am thinking about getting  a second opinion, but I have a feeling it is going to be the same outcome.
Hope everybody has a Beautiful Thanksgiving. I am going to try to post before and after pics once I get home.


Take care

Tom
