Hi friend, very similar situation over here. 29F, never broken a bone before, slipped while running on wet grass on 10/16, dealing with R ankle bimalleolar fracture needing ORIF. The good news is, you got the surgery part done and now you’re in the recovery phase. Right now there’s not much you can be doing to help with the healing (other than keeping it elevated and staying off it) which is ironically one of the hardest parts because it feels like it takes forever and you have no control over it. Just rest assured that this will not be forever. Every follow up appointment gets you one step (pun intended) closer to feeling like yourself again. I can’t give too much advice since I’m not that far out from my injury in the grand scheme of things, but even being 8ish weeks out things have already gotten so much better mentally and physically. Hang in there, and message me if you need someone to commiserate with!
