Wish me luck !
« on: May 05, 2014, 05:16:00 PM »
Tomorrow I go in for a total ankle replacement on my right ankle. Twenty one years ago I fell off my roof and shattered both legs. I have not walked a day since without foot or ankle pain. I had my left one done last year and it turned out very well. I have twenty one years of good hunting to catch up on so wish me luck !!

Best to you all, Ken

Good luck.  I hope it takes the pain out of movement for you!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Yes... good luck and prayers from my family to yours.

I fear I have knee surgery in my future... isn't getting any better.

Best of luck.

Good luck Ken. My MIL just went through the same thing.  One a year!

They usually do the worst one first, so things are looking good.

Good luck Ken, I would love to hear more about this procedure. I also have two bad ankles, I crushed both of mine motocross racing and have 50 screws and 5 plates in them. Curious if I would be a candidate for this.

Again best of luck,
Rusty

Go for it, Ken!  Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Good luck for recovery and better getting around. Just had a knee replaced with great results. Helped me a bunch and only 11 weeks out of surgery.
