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 27 (April 16)
Foot still felt a bit swollen today. Seems to swell in the actual foot, not sure if it's happening in the ankle as well. The bottom of my foot feels like it's on fire. I took 1.5 norco at 12:30 pm as it was getting a bit uncomfortable. Then left house and went to niece's birthday party. Was able to spend most of the time on couch with my foot at waist level. Could tell after a few hours that my foot was swelling a bit and I was also having a hard time getting comfortable. Got home about 4:00 and put leg up immediately. 6:45 now and had to take an oxy. Going to keep it elevated in hope that the swelling and pain go back down. On a positive note, my toes didn't seem to be as purple today when I was standing and moving around.
