I saw an orthopedic surgeon yesterday that Carmen recommended. He did some more x-rays including a "stress x-ray" where he twisted my foot while the picture was being taken. He says that my syndesmosis looks like it’s not torn and thinks that I have a "3rd degree circumfrential sprain". Basically the other ligaments in my ankle are messed up, but my syndesmosis is ok, so I don’t need surgery and a screw.

 

Good stuff!

 

Now I just hope I heal up quickly enough to start chemo soon. I see my oncologist today and find out what stage I’m in from the CT scan yesterday. Wish me luck. Think low numbers.
