sorry to hear it, but glad it wasn't worse. Heal quickly!

Had a checkup today...they're already going to remove the stitches from the surgery when I go in on Friday and put me in removable splints and schedule me for physical therapy. I didn't figure this would happen this fast considering how long it took me to recover after my other wreck back in 05. But that one was a broken femur, so I guess it is kinda a huge difference lol

Sorry to hear about your mishap... seems you got juked by a car?? Glad you didn't fare worse and have learned something. Heal fast

well, it looks like they're not going to do surgery on my heel after all. I had an appointment today with an orthopedic surgeon that is a foot and ankle specialist. He looked over all the films from my x-rays and cat scans and did some more x-rays himself...he was very upset that tri-care took so long to get me refered to him, he said if he could have seen me within a week of the accident perhaps he could've surgically improved the injury...but the bone is already knitting so it's not looking good as far as surgery. However, the bone is knitting in a good position, so it will just be a long slow recovery rather than a short surgically tainted one. He also spotted damage to the achilles tendons in both my left and right ankle...also never noticed by any of the air force or emergency room doctors...he said it will take more than a couple of months for the achilles tendons to reconstruct themselves and I will more than likely always have problems with them. He's consulting with my orthopedic doctor on base and wants to see me again in a week so he can check some other things out and possibly give me some advice on how to improve my recovery time. Before I left, he asked if I was fond of my career in the military...because it's not gaurenteed, but it's likely I'll be facing a med board before my enlistment expires...

Oh wow...so this can affect your status with the military?

Duff750 · 11-09-2007, 05:58 PM

Yessir, very much so. If I'm not mobile, I'm of no use to the military

I've had trouble seeing how badly my heel is fookered up just by looking at the XRays I've seen. Well, on the CD that I got from Midwest Regional they included the CAT scan photos. After searching through HUNDREDS of photos, I finally found the right pics with the damages. Looks a lot worse than I thought it was

Those are friggin hard core x-rays! I'm glad you're ok! Rage clouds the judgement so its understandable - but we learn from them....

....Man, I would rock those x-rays on a black t-shirt if I were you. Pretty massive!
