Recovery

I had my left ankle replaced on the 19th of Nov.  I am on the road to recovery and everything that goes with it,  I had a cast on this same leg as a young man the first time it was injured.  I remember being able to get around a lot better back in those days.  I have indured physical therapy and the fact that things that used to be so easy are now hard or unable to do.  I use a walker in the house and crutches when I go out.  I have 3 more weeks with the cast and then a boot for...I don't know for how long. 

The pain I endured all the time is gone.  I couldn't walk much before.  I want to thank the Dr's and Nurses of the Durham VA for a great job.  The VA hospital is a good hospital.
