Brotherman! Congrats for just being out there!
After I sprained my left ankle almost 3 years ago, I just couldn't get it to heal. I was a lot heavier then (140 pounds lost since then).
I had my left knee replaced 9 years ago, 6 level spinal fusion 8 years ago. Which has highlighted my scoliosis. My right knee is failing now. I had my right achilles tendon repaired 3 years ago, just a couple months before spraining my right ankle...
I'm comfortable in the AFO brace, the Orthotic guy explained why he made it the way he did, and what he thought I should ask the surgeon.I saw the surgeon last week. So TibialTalus fusion is coming. But the brace buys me time, maybe to get the right knee done first...
Some days, I really just don't want to get going...
