How my life has changed due to a "sprained" ankle. Calcaneal osteotomy (Dywer procedure), lateral ligament repair (modified Brostrom procedure), arthroscopy, calf lengthening (gastrocnemius slide), arthrodesis, capsulotomy, allograft, peroneal tendon repair, amputation, spinal cord stimulator, testosterone difficiency, full disability.

Day 24 (April 13)
Slept pretty well but moved around a lot. Not a deep sleep. I ended up taking a valium last night so I think it helped. Didn't have too much pain today. The purple toe/pain/pressure when standing seems to have gone backwards about a week+. Can only assume it has to do with the new cast and how tight it is. I did have my leg down for 45 minutes without much swelling or pain. I did put it up immediately after for about 30 minutes. Good sign overall. Think I have a bit of a pill hangover today. Been absolutely exhausted. Must be the 12 hour oxy extended release that does it. Going to avoid those as much as possible going forward.
