Doctor Visit

Today was my appointment with the orthopedic surgeon to discuss my good ole ankle. After looking at the X-Rays and MRI he simply stated that my ankle is history. Due to the break that I had twenty-two years ago I have developed SEVERE arthritis and he gave me three options for treatment. First I can have an ankle replacement, second I can have it fused and third I can live with the pain until I cannot tolerate it any longer and then resort back to my first or second options. So my decision for now is..................................................................option three!!!

You are so weird!!! I'm sorry the news wasn't better. On the bright side, I guess it's a good thing you have a high tolerance for pain. Loves.

I sure wish your ankle wasn't so bad. Are you sure you don't want to do anything about it? It might mean no more pain...
