I wish this never happend
by: Stephanie on Mon, Jan 11 2010

Nearly 3 years ago on a very cold frigid night in Colorado. I went to my car to grab some items left behind, I was getting out of my car when i had slept and fell, on my ankle. Braking my ankle in 3 areas.

I had surgery on my left ankle thinking it would be a short recovery with a bit of PT. I was so wrong, Here i am 3yrs come 2/10 and i can barely stand to shop for groceries. Today i have given into the FACT i have to use Electric buggies to do any shopping.

Why cant i get better why is my ankle still blue and discolered with swelling? and Why has it progressively getting worse. I no longer have the life i once knew. No more long walks along the gorgeous lakes here and no dancing, and my most agonizing thought no more skiing ‘period’. All im told by doctors that it is the best that they can do for me and that angers me very much that i am treated like a big BABY, I am not nothing like that. I feel like i am Mourning the loss of my mobility, Am i a big baby?, I just had hoped that by now all would be just fine.

Sincerly Stephanie
