Diagnosis

So I went to Midland Orthopedic today. My ankles were x-rayed, and Dr. Perns concluded that my right ankle was now healed enough to allow full body weight bearing. So now I can walk.

He also told me that my ankle bones and my fibula in my left leg are misaligned, and if I continue using it as it is, I will have an arthritic ankle and a high probability of further injury. And that to avoid that, I'll probably need another surgery. And that's too bad. Now it makes more sense that my left ankle has been hurting increasingly.

But I can walk. I think I prefer pain to disability. I'd much rather just be healthy, though. And I'd rather also have a private jet.
