Ouch!

I haven't mentioned it lately, but . . . I am still having some problems with my ankle. I had an appointment with my ortho-surgeon last Thursday for a post surgery 3-month check and he informed me that the possible reason for the continuing pain could be that two of the six screws have already begun to work their way out of the bone/plate and are already pressing against my skin. He pulled my skin taut at the ankle-bone and two screw-heads were plainly visible through the skin.

He had already told me (at the time of surgery) that I would probably have to have the hardware removed, but strongly suggested that I leave everything in place for at least a year for proper healing. Now, since two screws are already moving, I may have to have the surgery sooner than the recommended year. If that is the case, I'd prefer to have it done before the end of the year so it will be covered under this year's insurance deductible. He "assures" me that this surgery will not be as invasive as the last, and I should only be in the cast for a week or two at the most.

I'm just ready for a day without pain . . . if it means surgery to remove the hardware now instead of later . . . I'm ready for that, too . . .
