Good morning!
Well, it looks like after massive angsting, ankle fusion definitely IS in me future.
So what is the first thing I do (thanks to Debbie Benstein for her smart idea!)?
Why, create a Pinterest board about Ankle Fusion and Ankle Replacement!
Yep – the husband (the wisest man I know) had a serious chat with me yesterday about how if its going to be required in the future….get it done asap.
And I’m researching it right now.
Couple of things I’ve internalized:
1.) You need your ankles to walk to the kitchen to make coffee. Figured I’d get the most important thing out of the way first.
2.) Did I mention coffee?
3.) Zero weight bearing kinda sorta long term. This means I’ll be immobile for more than a brief moment in time.
So….mentally I’m in the right place and the next step is to schedule it out and make it so.
And….how did I make ankle fusion lemonade out of this?
Why, by creating the ankle fusion board of course!
Hopefully I can help others as well.
Will keep y’all posted!
Grow strong,
Barbara Ling
