Gone under the knife!!

[scot w.]

Tomarow morning @ 5:00am I have to be at the hospital for the 7th surgery on my anckle. They are doing a Anckle fusion and it's about a 4hr long surgery involving screws and other large words I can't pronounce!! and I will have a plaster cast on for 6.5wks and then it's 3-4 months recovery " YUK"!!

Well wish me luck! I should be back soon to let everyone know how things went.

Thanks guys! I will keep everyone posted as soon as I can get to my lap-top.

Brer rabbit your welcome drive it as long as you write a good check!! :biggrin:

Thanks for the kind words! After this surgery I should be pain free finally after 4yrs, it's my RT anckle and it Killed me when I raced, holding that pressure (trying to shove the gas peddle though the fire wall). and my walking gate should be very close to normal, so if all goes well i'm really looking forward to walking somewhat normal again.

I will reply soon! :smile: Scot w.

Hi everyone Scot is doing good. This is Gina, Scots wife. Its nice to see all the support from everyone. Surgery took 3 hours and we were home by 1:00 pm. Scot is resting on the recliner. We are looking at at least 12 weeks with putting no weight on that foot. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks!!!!

Oh man, sorry to hear about the ankle surgery:frown: , I had to have 2 pins put into a broken ankle after a motorcycle accident, and all I can say is listen to the DR! He told me to not put any weight on it for the entire 6 weeks it was in the cast....Well, that lasted 2 weeks before I had completely had it with people asking me what happend, so I started walking on it. When it came time for the cast to come off, they x-rayed it and found it had barely healed at all, so I got to wear another cast for 6 more weeks Yeah, I walked on it too. I feel for ya man! I'd rather have a broken arm any day over a foot/ankle/leg. Hope it heals up fast and your up and around quicker than expected.

Now I can see aztech temples :biggrin:

Glad to hear all went well with the surgery.
Hate to hear you will miss Reynolds, but recovery is the best medicine.
You should be going by next year without fail!
