Broken ankle.

NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED.
There have been enquiries from my mates on what happened to me. Well......

I recently broke my right ankle. Freak fall during a round of paintball game. Multiple fractures. "Unforseen circumstances". That is why there are very few updates and many items waiting on the queue.

Two surgeries and a total of 8 screws and 1 plate. I realised that I have ridiculously high pain threshold. Been there, done that. Things are looking good......



Dec 13th, 2009. Probably I fell when my right leg got stuck in a ditch and my body turned one way, and the right foot turning the opposite way. And I remembered my ankle then looked exactly like Felipe's. Felipe is a fullback for Brazil's national football them who broke his ankle recently.



Dec 13th, 2009. Right after the freak fall (around noon). The officer-in-charge re-positioned my ankle back to its rightful location.


Dec 13th, 2009. Initially went to a clinic, thinking it was a bad-ass sprain. Doctor at clinic looked shocked and asked me to go for a X-ray. I am hardcore. Can you see the fractures?



Dec 15th, 2009. Surgery was conducted around 9pm, Dec 13th.




Dec 18th, 2010. First-look after surgery.




Dec 20th, 2009. Right before discharge.



Jan 5th, 2010. Back-slab off. Bandages off.


Jan 21st, 2010. Looking good, eh?

January 25th, 2010. I am Iron Man.

Feb 1st, 2010. Walk with both feet. Partial-weight bearing. 2 crutches.

Feb 8th, 2010. Walk with both feet. Partial-weight bearing. 1 crutch.
