In 1993 I fell off my roof and shattered both legs. I have suffered with very bad arthritis in both ankles for twenty years now. It limits the distance I can walk and really changed the way I hunted. I finally have made the decision to have a total ankle replacement, and today is the day .... I am having the left ankle replaced and if that goes well I'll do the right one next year.
Wish me well, I would love to take a "long" walk in the mountains
-
Oh man sorry Brother. Praying for a speedy recovery!
-
I'm wishing you all kinds of luck; all of it good luck. I had my right knee replaced last year and will be looking at the same for the left one - probably next year.
I'm sure there will be some physical therapy that will speed recovery.
Not fun by any means, but "a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do".

Good luck man.
MIL just had hers broke, readjusted and fused straight for the lack of better terms. It's been six months now and she is doing great. Follow the doctor's orders to a tee and it will be good.
It's a big commitment, but doing one at a time with a year healing process is the way to go, you are doing good.

Having spent a few days with this man at Whips in WI, I can only attest to the "can do" attitude this gent has!
He straps on custom leather braces and goes like anyone else..pain or not! A true inspiration!
I wish the best to you Ken! You will be in prayer for this to be a complete success and that after next year, you can start to really enjoy increased mobility!
God bless, brother!
