Thank you so much 😊 I’m getting better everyday thank God. I get my cast off on may 20th and I’ll be in a walking boot after. But I’m moving around a lot better as well.

I’m sorry this happened to you. I to broke my ankle roller skating a couple weeks ago 🥹. It has been the worst experience of my life. I’ve been watching KZbin videos on ppls experience with this which is how I came across your channel. Thanks for sharing and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Thank you so much for watching and thank you for wishing me a speedy recovery I wish the same for you 🤗 this has been a tough experience for me but also a learning experience as well but I’m almost at the finish line to walking again and you will get there before you know it.

@@lifewithshaun thank you. I’m just a little over a week in from surgery so I have some ways to go. I’m happy you are almost done can’t wait til I’m there. I’ve been having issues sleeping I’m still in pain and the cast makes It difficult to get comfortable please tell me It gets better. Did you have the same issue ?

[@lifewithshaun]

@@rashidahalv6915 I had the same issues after surgery it was the worse sleep of my life. I had to sleep on the couch for a week because that was the most comfort I could get sleeping but trust it gets better. Now I can sleep good no pain and this week will be week 6 after the surgery. It will get better 😊

So what kind of break and hardware did you have? I broke mine 4 weeks ago. I rolled my ankle and then fell on it. Trimalleolar fracture with dislocation. I had emergency surgery to get a external fixator put on within a few hours of it happening because they couldn't get my ankle reset. I spent the weekend in the hospital with it on. And got ORIF surgery the following Monday. 1 plate, 5 screws and a tie put in. I'm on my second cast.

@@Mrs.Katiex0x oh wow I’m so sorry that this happened to you. I don’t exactly remember the name of my break but I broke all three bones in my ankle. So I have screws as well. But the good thing is I’m back to maybe 95% my ankle still is a bit stiff though.

@lifewithshaun sounds like a trimalleolar fracture. I broke 3 of mine too. I'm watching all your videos now. I'm still non weight bearing for at least another 2 weeks. Haven't been able to work. I'm scared to go partial/full weight bearing.
