Operation Time
So I made the call. My operation is provisionally booked for next Monday, the 26th of February. Once it’s confirmed, I’ll have a good think about my goals, and when I’d like to be running. After consulting with a biokinetist of course. I’m slightly nervous, but I know I’m doing the right thing in order to get me running again.
Update: Everything is booked. I shall be going under the knife on Monday, and depending on admittance time, I might have to spend the night in hospital. Then I get to spend the whole week off my feet and away from work, which is going to make this week all the more hectic. What I found rather funny, was that the doctor sent me a “quote” which reminds me of a car repair quote. The procedures I’m having done are as follows:
- Ankle Arthroscopy
- Lateral Ligament Repair
- Debridement
- Harvesting Graft
After extensive Googling, I’ve found no reports by patients on their recovery etc, so I shall be blogging regularly and going into detail on how my recovery is going. I hope it will be of some use to future ankle sufferers as to what they’re in for.
