I triple broke my ankle in my youth. It was clean so doctor only had to pull and reposition the parts, didn’t have to operate.

Crutches for 8 weeks, you’ll never have so strong lower arms again. In winter so got ice spikes that you flipped down on the crutches when you go outside. Felt like a cool weapon. I could outrun a lot of people down the stairs and on ice.

Got all the cute girls to sign their name on the platter cast.

Wasn’t too bad! Itching under the cast was really annoying. At one place the cast had been too tight on the skin so skin was rotting. Leg was a thin slivered pathetic version of its former self. It’s insane how much you lose from such a short time. It’s fine now though.

Good luck!
