Just read your tag line. Broken ankle? Owie. The wife had one of them back in 96 or so. Not fun at all. Are you casted? She was casted up to her upper thigh due to the manner of break (broke both balls off the ends of her leg bones). Although she tells me the hip hurt much worse than the ankle did.
YIKES........my ankle break is no where near that bad. I did need surgery to have a plate put into it, but for the moment it is only "splinted", I'll get a cast put on next Tuesday when the stitches come out.
If breaking her hip was more painful than the ankle, I can not even imagine the pain....childbirth was no where near as painful as what I have been experiencing the past 2 weeks.
