In hospital bed now before surgery..thank you for this video 😊

I’m into Week 12 after a fall resulting in ankle dislocation, ligament damage and spiral fractured fibula. Surgery on 14 June, started weight bearing with walker on 2 August in moon boot. Back to surgeon on 4 September then hopefully start physio therapy. The longest 3 months of my 60 years! I also bought one of those EvenUp shoe balancers - game changer!

Why are u in hospital after 2 weeks?

Hi! I’m viewing your video because I just had my ankle surgery last Thursday going through what you somewhat went through. Better late than never 💐flowers for you! I’m a male so not all pertains to me but good to hear I’m not the only one that feels this way today. Hope your recovery was a success!

Thank you for your video! Wondering if you got any post surgery headaches?

Totally understand the ‘emotions getting the better of you’ part. It’s so hard to control them while at the same time not being able to really get them out as you can’t properly exercise and all. Love your videos ❤ currently recovering after a peroneal tendon surgery which has been 7 years overdue 😅

Wowsers

Get your ankle replaced….the pain will be gone. Find the right surgeon, too. Some surgeons do not have the skills that others do. Research. You will get better with an ankle replacement!!!😊

Why not get a nerve block? I just had a total ankle replacement and needed no opioids!! Univ of Utah!!! I had a bone infarction. Needed an InBone 2 prosthesis.

You have endured a lot. For me, you are a superhero. I hope you will be better and stronger and come back better than before. Keep it up.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

God bless you girl. Thanks for helping us go through the same way you did.🙏🏻😔God bless us all.

May I kindly inquire about the type of footwear you wore on the opposite foot to maintain balance while using the air walking boot on the other foot?

How frequent was your your PT in the beginning compared to 3 months?

This is really weird. I had ankle surgery and this is not my experience. This chick seems full of shit. If anyone out there is really post ankle surgery at 6weeks. Hang in there. It's rough. you're probably still in bed rehabbing and not walking around Target in a boot like a babe. I see you.

God bless! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. God bless us all after all this issues we all have.🙏🏻😔

I do the same every day too. I have the chair for the tub. I have a complete ankle replacement and tendon fix. I have had 3 surgeries in the past year. Crutches suck. I use my Iwalk3 and knee roller. I feel your pain. My rehab facility has a pool.

Thank you for sharing your vids. Just had a TAR 6 weeks ago, most of my foot is still numb. Anymore tips you can give me I would greatly appreciate it. I’m actually using the lacrosse ball like you suggested, so thank you for.

I'm going through this nightmare right now.

I had tibial tendon surgery and bone fused. Wish I would have not done it. Recovery is hell. Hate not getting any sleep. I hope it is worth it

For anyone that still has to go through this: I’m currently on day 5 after surgery. I had no nerve block. First 3 days were quite painful. Just general pain. Overall it was do-able with just Tylenol and Naproxen. At night I took Oxycodine. Since day 4 it was soooo much less pain full. The only pain really is when my air walker pushes against my incision. Don’t let all the horror stories scare you, but let it prepare you. I was prepared for horrible pain and overall was pleasant surprised with the amount of pain :) And a 1006 het the special pillow (your heavy cast/airwalker will just fall off the normal pillows and you’ll be awake all night putting it back. Also get the knee scooter

I had that popping sensation happening, I had an Ankle Fusion recently. The popping for me was Arthritis.

I send you flowers even if your surgery was a while back. 💐💐💐💐💐💐

I'm watching your video on 6/23/24. I'll be having ankle replacement surgery on 6/27/24. You did terrific, never second doubt yourself. The only difference is you're such a young lady and I'm an old chick so maybe my pain will be worse. Who knows 😊

Everything you saying I was the same way 😢

I had surgery Jan and still out been five months now still learning how to walk all that you saying I been there at took me that long before I could take a shower I went and get a bench so I could have my leg out and top just have the water on your body I thought I was in heaven and I went into depression felt like no one was there put you have every one but sad because you can't do what you want

Gang, and this is a great video, I'll share more soon but thanks so much for the additional motivation 🤕❤👣

Its all about the ingredients, taste is subjective, by the way you look like Susan dey from the partridge family,

💐🌷🌹🪻🪷🌺🌸🌼🌻

Thanks for a great video. I’m 76 and broke my ankle both sides have plates and screws in. Couldn’t shower for 6 weeks wish I’d found you earlier your shower advice brilliant. Will keep watching. Thank you for sharing. Hope you have full recovery ❤

Thank you so much for sharing this my husband doesn’t believe me about my pain although I didn’t break my ankle I had a foot and ankle fusion I will be showing my husband this

I know it’s 2 years ago, but I cannot feel sorry for feeling so sad about an ankle break. You had a boyfriend, an ankle that would repair..and a full life ahead of you. Sometimes thinking of blessings, not how you are at this moment in time. You will get better, you will walk, and regain confidence again. This sounded so self absorbing, lifting yourself out of it with small successes. I do know the pain and frustration. I too have had a double displaced fracture of the ankle, with metal plates and screws. In hospital for 8 weeks,as I had heart problems, and had a loop then a pacemaker fitted, and I await a heart procedure shortly. I’m happy, I got to walk again, I’m living a comparable life to pre ops., life is what can you do now, not what you have lost. I have never cried, felt sad, or frustrated. Just joy that I could be fixed. ❤

Thank you for documenting your journey 🫶🏻 I’m booked in for lateral ligament reconstruction for torn atfl and cfl ligaments on July 31. Any specific pre-surgery exercises you recommend to help with post surgery recovery?

Did u get to remove the titanium screws?

Also, buy a proper cast cover, her method of cling-wrap, athletic tape etc, what a faff!! Decent cast cover and you're done.

Luck you had the nerve block! My anaesthetist was going to give me one, decided not too i then woke up to horrific pain.

Girl you don’t even have to explain any of it it makes a hell of a lot of sense to me . I’m feeling the same .

I had a Double Arthritis Achilles Lengthening and Tibial Autograph Surgery. It is the worse. I have a Motorized Scooter, Knee Scooter and Crutches it is still hard. Especially driving. I'm really sensitive right now too and I don't know why.

Denali, thank you for documenting your hip journey! Sometime this summer, I need to schedule my hip surgery. (Torn gluteus minimus, labrum repair, impingement and micro fracture procedure.) I’ve had a lot of injuries and surgeries too. However, this hip injury has been my most challenging to deal with. Thank you again. You are giving me a good insight on what to expect during rehab.

I've just had the same surgery with an added internal brace about 10 days ago, and just listening to your story is like my own. I didn't go to the loo for 7 days after surgery and it was bloody awful 😢 unfortunately i struggled as the pain meds made me so so sick and i was completely wiped out 😢 but its day 10 today and i actually feel normal. Its driving me mad just sitting doing nothing i feel like a potato 🥔 hope your all healed now glad to see a story that feels like mine ❤

What are the grey compressions that were buzzing, lol, called?

I watched this video when I had the same surgery and it was my best company. I played college basketball and both of my ankles were really bad. I made the decision to just have one surgery and everything went well, I started playing again very quickly and everything was fine. Unfortunately, on my other foot, which I did not have surgery on, one day while training, I fell badly and I thought I had sprained it, but no, due to the lack of ligaments, the bone had completely come out and my foot was completely turned over. "Luckily" I didn't fracture, but this situation will possibly keep me from playing. Even if it didn't seem like it at the time, you made the right decision. Cheers to everyone who is going through this. It is better to wait a little now and be able to be a healthy and sporty person in due time, than to no longer be able to walk.

I’m having my right hip replaced in 2 days. Thank you for sharing your journey, it has made me less nervous about the surgery.

Having labrum surgery along with abductor surgery in the near future. Been watching your videos, and I believe they are preparing me for what is to come.

I am also 6 months out from a very similar surgery. Glad you’re doing well!!

Love your sharing….getting wrapped remove this Monday after 2 weeks. I’m 64 my first broken bones ankle surgery similar to yours with one exception I have a rod in my heel. I suspect it will be a pain to walk on. Well I hope you got your shoulder, hip, and elbow address by now. I just wanted to thank you for sharing and providing insights on what’s to come. You took it all like a champion.

I had ankle surgery February 6th and before my surgery it was so weird cause I could feel my bones move

Thank you for being honest. I know it’s years later but even to this day I don’t feel like people are honest about their recovery from this surgery. There aren’t many, if any, other vlogs about the whole recovery and people on Instagram make is seems so incredibly easy. I’d prefer to see the worst side of it, and have it be easier than expected, than the other way around

I cant believe your boyfriend doesnt know youre going through this

You have literally saved my life with these videos!!! 🙌🏽Thank you!!! I have watched them over and over again as a guide to get through this!❤ I am currently in week four post op since my ankle surgery. I had on my foot/ankle❤️‍🩹: arthroscopic debuildment, lateral ligament reconstruction, and double tightrope.

I love your videos I am going through recovery as well I am going to order the ice pack thank you so much!!
