Thanks for all of the advice and well wishes.
I looked into HSS but it's not covered with my insurance so I'm doing it locally at Huntington Hospital. I haven't been able to run anything longer than a mile or two on it for some time (at least 10-12 months) so I'm not expecting miracles overnight. I also won't know if they had to put crews in until after I wake up.
My main goal is to return to work in two weeks, off crutches in 6 weeks, and maybe chase my two kids around by mid summer. If I could finish my local 5k turkey trot painfree in November I would be happy. I am a PE teacher and coach after school so I'm usually pretty active during the day so I'll have to change my approach at work for the next few weeks.
I've read about grafts online but as of now my doc hasn't mentioned it....yet.
For those who have had surgery, how was it living in a cast post surgery? Any tips in terms of sleep, driving (yes its my right ankle), or other post surgical help?
