Title: Wish me luck !
Post by: elkken on May 05, 2014, 05:16:00 PM
Tomorrow I go in for a total ankle replacement on my right ankle. Twenty one years ago I fell off my roof and shattered both legs. I have not walked a day since without foot or ankle pain. I had my left one done last year and it turned out very well. I have twenty one years of good hunting to catch up on so wish me luck !!

Best to you all, Ken

Yes... good luck and prayers from my family to yours.

I fear I have knee surgery in my future... isn't getting any better.

Best of luck.

Good luck Ken. My MIL just went through the same thing.  One a year!

They usually do the worst one first, so things are looking good.

Prayers sent.

Good luck Ken, I would love to hear more about this procedure. I also have two bad ankles, I crushed both of mine motocross racing and have 50 screws and 5 plates in them. Curious if I would be a candidate for this.

Again best of luck,
Rusty

Good luck for recovery and better getting around. Just had a knee replaced with great results. Helped me a bunch and only 11 weeks out of surgery.

I couldn't say it any better than this, but I will add to make sure you do your Physical Therapy afterwards! I had to have some hardware added to one of my ankles a couple of years ago (due to some over celebation of my birthday   :knothead:  ) and opted to not do any PT   :banghead:  . It STILL isn't right and may never be.

Though I'm sure you're much smarter than I, I thought I'd throw that little nugget of wisdom your way, just in case.

God bless you and your doctor, and a speedy and full recovery!

Back home and resting .... operation went very well but a little longer than expected. The ankle had so many bone spurs it was almost fused together. I also needed to have my achilles tendon lengthened so my ankle would come up past 90*

Thanks so much for all the prayers and well wishes

best to ya, Ken

Ken,  I just saw this and hopefully you are on a quick and successful recovery.  21 years is a lot to catch up on but it will be a pleasant journey.
My very best to you.
