Glamis?View attachment 127747 My day is going well. I’ll ride my bike Monday or tuesday to make up for not riding it this weekend.
Nah, Superstition Mountains in California. It’s better than nothingGlamis?
Thanks, currently medicating with beer. And maybe some edibles in a bit.Targhee was off the hook today. Snowing when we arrived and just kept dumping harder as the day went on.
Cooked now.
HAB - sucks about the leg. Heal fast, you whippersnapper.
If occasionally catching up for a beer counts, we already do that.You and Westy need to start a Seattle support group.
That is but a wee break. Could be non-operative since it does appear to be below the syndesmosis to me...Oops.
That angle doesn't show it great, but the broken off chucks are rotated back a bit, so there's more gap than that view indicates. Think that matters?That is but a wee break. Could be non-operative since it does appear to be below the syndesmosis to me...
Yes.That angle doesn't show it great, but the broken off chucks are rotated back a bit, so there's more gap than that view indicates. Think that matters?
Post up the lateral view that presumably shows this, kplsthxThat angle doesn't show it great, but the broken off chucks are rotated back a bit, so there's more gap than that view indicates. Think that matters?
Really hoping I can go to an air cast when I see the ortho, does that seem likely? The half cast I have on already feels revolting in the foot after 24hrs. I can't even fathom what it would be like after a few weeks without being able to clean it.Only minimally displaced. I still wouldn’t be surprised with non-operative management.
I hope you didn't miss their live show last year.
I knew nothing of it.I hope you didn't miss their live show last year.
They're leaving it up to me. Ortho says that it's minimally displaced and as such should heal fine on its own. Surgery's still on the table though as an option, and as it was presented to me, the pros are that it would heal faster, and that it would reduce the likelihood of developing arthritis down the road, as it would get repaired with better alignment. Obviously any surgery carries some risk, but this one sounds relatively routine and straightforward. I'm somewhat inclined to operate, but am also a little worried that I'm overindexing on my experience with my collarbone, where I was given the same choice, and chose not to operate. It healed with somewhat poor alignment, and has given me a lot of grief since.Only minimally displaced. I still wouldn’t be surprised with non-operative management.

If my fibula looked like that I’d go non-op.They're leaving it up to me. Ortho says that it's minimally displaced and as such should heal fine on its own.

What's your thinking? Just that it's aligned well enough that there's not possibility for improvement with surgery to be worth the risk?If my fibula looked like that I’d go non-op.
What did you do skiing to do that to your ankle? Wearing old leather boots?What's your thinking? Just that it's aligned well enough that there's not possibility for improvement with surgery to be worth the risk?

Technica Cochise Pro 130s.Not even a good story. Was coming out of the woods onto a cat track. Ski tip caught on some icy crud that the cat had pushed up at the edge. Binding (Radical 2.0) didn't release. Just twisted my ankle around and broke it.

Yeah, I'll sure take this over exploding my knee.Ouch. On a positive note, you must have some pretty strong knees.
Anesthesia has risks. Opening the skin for anything has risks. The risks involved in non-op management are smaller than those other risks, IMO.What's your thinking? Just that it's aligned well enough that there's not possibility for improvement with surgery to be worth the risk?
Makes sense. Thanks.Anesthesia has risks. Opening the skin for anything has risks. The risks involved in non-op management are smaller than those other risks, IMO.
