I was to the Fracture Clinic here in TBay today. I wanted to follow-up and ensure that my fibula was knitting back together properly. The good doctor (as mentioned, our doctors down here have to go to school to get a degree!) allowed as how the fibula was mending very well, but he was concerned about my broken ankle... my what!!? Yes, the ankle also fractured in the mishap, and he is concerned that things aren't quite as they should be there.
He noted that I must have a high pain threshold (And, to test out this theory, he manipulated my ankle back into the position he wanted!), and noted that the ligaments look good. The upshot is that I'm now on crutches and in a cast from knee to toes, and scheduled to go back next Friday (14th) for more xrays. Yikes!

Well Bill, we must say that your pain threshold is something else. You and Angie are now specialists at falling on yourselves and breaking both fibula and ankles - I hope you have less difficulty with recovery than she has had. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and return to the links. That should give you the advantage of being a beginner again with all the luck that sometimes offers.
Love
Tom & Mariette
