Sorry to hear this! God’s speed in recovery. That would drive me nuts not being mobile.

Feel like I cant catch a break! My preop Covid test was positive. Zero symptoms. Surgery was to go down Wednesday, now I have no idea when.

Did they use the Positive Covid Result (PCR) test? The antigen test is more reliable.

Damn. Sorry to hear this. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

That sucks to hear Dave, wishing you a speedy recovery!

Damn chilerelleno that’s one hell of a break!! I see this kind of stuff all the time, and I’d have to say I haven’t seen many distal tibias with that large of a plate and screws. But to make an Xray tech say “DAYUM!”….DAYUM!!

Despite the positive covid test, the surgery is still happening tomorrow - thank god! it was moved from an out patient clinic to one of the hospitals. I assume for the off chance of a respiratory issue while under anesthesia. I'll be very happy when the procedure is done and the healing can begin.

I really appreciate all the support. I'll keep ya'll posted.

Good news! Please keep us posted, and good luck, should be relatively easy.

Ok Scratch that. Now Feb 10th... This is really getting old fast. Apparently the positive test is a problem. Hate for COVID very high. I was ready to move on the say the leg broke. Now im in limbo for 9 more days be healing can start.

Well that sucks. Sorry to hear that. Wish there was another way. Can you get retested sooner? As if the original test was inaccurate?

I don't think it would change much.

For not being able to smoke due to not being able to bear weight on the leg, There are devices that allow people with leg injuries to put their leg onto a scooter of sorts (bent at the knee) so the Thigh takes the weight and not the injured part - Not sure of your setup, and space, but that could be an option

 

[sandyut]

Ive looked at the knee scooters. Holding of for the moment. my boot goes right up to the knee and I suspect the cast will too. Kinda waiting for the post-op sitch to see i can manage a scooter. I also have a huge hematoma on my skin that is very painful to the touch. here's a pic. 6 days later its will pretty big.

I always tell others it could be worse...this could have for sure. the first time I broke the ankle like this it was a compound fracture. at least everything is still inside of me...waiting for the surgery.

 

[civilsmoker]

Ouch! Man that sucks.....When I shattered my toe and severed the tendon, I couldn't find a doc that would even see me (2 month wait).....As I was searching for out of state docs, the family doc out of a whim send the xrays to the local sports orthopedics docs to try to peak their interest....luckily one saw it and wanted a challenge...I still had to wait 2 weeks for surgery and that was rough!

Man tough for sure. Hoping you heal as quickly as possible.
