Story Time: How Jesse Broke Her Ankle

I looked for this story in my archive but this event preceded my online journaling. I like to think it's amusing, so ... ( accidental injury while disabled )

The moral

Twelve years later, my ankles are definitely different. The worst sequela relates to the plates and screws. They don’t give like bone and tendon, so the right foot & ankle always hurts first (especially in very cold weather). Athletes generally have another surgery to remove any hardware; at the time, I couldn’t see the point. If I had to do it again I would go for the second surgery.

Learn the names of effective pain relief and write it on your “important things for an emergency” card. Just when I thought I understood living with a disability, something changes and there’s more to know.

Words can’t convey how wonderful MyGuy is.
