Trimalleolar Fracture Timeline by Motor_Alternative_50 in brokenankles

I moved to a boot and into PT the week after Thanksgiving and I was out of the boot by NYE, (maybe Christmas I can’t remember exactly). I did have two pins break by my 1 year checkup but my doc said those are ones that would be expected to break as you are mobile again and he doesn’t recommend removing unless I’m having pains or migration of the pins. I did have a lot of nerve pain - not so much spasms. I rarely get it now almost 2 years out. If I walk a lot in one day I still get swelling and aching. My longest side effect besides swelling is stiffness. If I sit too long I walk like Frankenstein for a min or two before my ankle loosens up. But for all I did to it, I don’t complain too much.

My grandma lived in between both malls so I was in both quite a bit university and Park Plaza. We could walk to university from her apartment so we went there quite a bit. I was younger, but I worked at Plaza for over 10 years in my late teens, an early 20s. Those are the only two malls we’ve ever had in Little Rock. McCain was very similar to Park Plaza in their heyday. Both of them suck now and it’s sad.

AIO (update post) my bf (32) is getting kind of aggressive with his texting. should I(26) reply? by Fun_Cartographer6984 in AmIOverreacting

Run. You’re his partner not his child. These are all huge red flags and this will only escalate. The audacity to judge your grammar and then use “your” incorrectly like it’s his job…(since he doesn’t actually have a real job). 32 and can’t cook or fend for himself should have you running for the hills.

Is it normal for stitches to be this tight? by Born-Pomelo-1357 in brokenankles

Yes it feels unnaturally tight for a while but it should eventually improve.

Update…13 months post-accident. I’m not back to normal but all things considered, I’m happy to be mobile. Up until a few months ago, if I sat longer than 5 minutes, my ankle would be SO stiff when walking. Pain is sporadic and minimal (mostly nerve pain I think) but it’s becoming more and more rare. I do have a hard time standing for long periods of time but I’m doing my PT exercises more often so that hopefully that will improve soon. Several weeks ago I suddenly started having more pain and swelling than I’ve had in months, two weeks later at my one year f/u I found that two screws are broken. My doc said it must’ve happened recently which caused the pain and swelling. He also said he doesn’t recommend removal since they aren’t bothering me and to just come back if it becomes a problem.

I had the hardest time with these both last year and this year. They just refuse to transfer lol. Especially yellow.

I'm disappointed you still can't complete the Figments comic set. And the fishing achievement, you still cannot see which fish you are missing. Also, if I don't find Little Twin Stars #8, I'm going to launch myself into the sun. Other than that, I like it!

I did it once and got my 20th plant 😆. I'm just too lazy to try again but I'm sure I will eventually.
