vegasjeep Report post Posted January 18, 2012 It will be mid June before Im back in action...... Ugg Had to reorganize the house a bit and make it comfortable and safe for me from the dogs... blocked the left side of the chair with the table and it was a great place to stack food and a fridge with waters.... Went something like that. surgery was 3 hours long. lots to do once inside. home relaxing and wanting more meds.... and a sweedish bikini team to sponge bath me. That was last Monday....

SunDevil Report post Posted January 19, 2012 HOLY CRAP Batman. I sure hope I NEVER get to do that. Good luck with the recovery. They say pain meds and alcohol do not mix but what do they know. also, if one is good two is better. that is what I thought when I got into my wife's valium for some major neck pain relief. woke up 7 hours later. at least you do not need a costume for Halloween next year with that scar.

vegasjeep Report post Posted January 19, 2012 I quite eating crap and drinking alcohol at the beginning of Dec. I knew it was kind of coming and when the time came this fit in to getting done and still hunting this year. lose my quad season but thats fine. I also might be healed kind of enough to be dropped somewhere for pig hunting. Ive had a few good injuries in my life and this one takes the cake with pain. the doc said it would be painful and he was not kidding... it is pretty bad. I had quite a few things done...

vegasjeep Report post Posted January 19, 2012 Ive been following on FB, but what did you do? you want the docs reasoning or mine? LOL medical term wise.... a bunch of stuff.... I could give it to you the way the doctor gave it to me.... LOL Ostechondrosis, ankle instability, peroneal fendonitis, peroneal sublaxation Procedure: Tibial Osteotomy, oats procedure, ankle stabilization, peroneal sublaxation, repair, and transfer tendons and muscles secure with artificial tissue. what that was explained to me.... LOL Going to cut the nuscle and tendons off and around my ankle. THey will reshape and remove the bone at the ankle joint. take bone plugs from my calf to insert in my ankle in key areas, repair the muscle and tendons and used laboratory grown stuff to reattach and help fix the areas. I guess most ankle surgeries to fix are one or two things... not 5-6. I guess it is a major major surgery and very painful. Hopefully I do all right..
