I just got my life back!

I just left the orthopedic surgeon's office.  My ankle seems to have completely healed in a shorter than average time.  I've been cleared for all physical activity that I'm comfortable with as long as I wear an ankle brace that stabilizes my joint in all directions.

To my discredit, I haven't exactly been the best patient in medical history.  I went a little bonkers sitting around and started moving around 2.5 weeks after my injury.  I was wearing a walking boot and sometimes, no supporting mechanism at all.  I understand that this stubbornness won't always work out this well.  I'm happy to be walking around again!  I feel like I've gotten my life back!
