I got the big screw removed from my ankle this morning (the remaining 5 screws and plate stay in there, unless they bother me).. Wahoo! It was a fairly simple procedure with just local anesthetic (which was the most unpleasant part, actually).. The doctor made a small cut in my ankle, and then using a screwdriver, unscrewed the big screw from my ankle.. Eeek! Well.. at least I got to keep the screw…

Doctor Mike used a Fluoroscope during the procedure so that he could see exactly what he was doing, and then afterwards, he showed me my ankle on the screen.. LIVE! Man, it’s sooo cool to see your ankle moving around all x-ray-like on the live screen…

So.. it’s almost 2 months since I broke my ankle, and I’m progressing really well… I can’t get wait to start working out again and getting everything back up to strength. My left leg is noticeably smaller than the right now, but, with each day, it definitely feels stronger…
