Here are some updated pictures.
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.

1 Year + (April 6)
I was making great progress towards walking without the crutches until yesterday afternoon. I was using only one crutch and putting nearly all of my weight on my foot when I felt a horrible pull in the achilles. It dulled down but kept happening every time I would put any weight on my foot. I ended up not putting much weight on it at all today and am hoping it is improved by tomorrow. I am getting a burning pain in my heel that is similar to what I felt after the original osteotomy. It comes and goes and seems to depend on the position of my foot. I did just look and I do have bruising on the back medial portion so that may have something to do with it. I'm still averaging about two doses of meds per day.
