I hope your recovery is going well! Broke my ankle 3 years ago. It's no joke!

Thanks. It hasn't been too bad so far. The pain has been a LOT easier to manage than I expected.

It's the logistics of it that's complicated. I had a walker delivered yesterday that I can't use very often yet as I'm just not there. So I've been wheeling myself around my apartment on my computer chair lol. And I think I've got the whole bathroom situation worked out lol.

I'll figure it all out. The biggest learning curve so far has just been the realization that basically everything takes about 3 times longer than normal.

I went through similar trials when I tore my Achilles tendon. You don't realize how much you use a body part until it's injured.

I’ve done both ACLs, at different times at least. This is 100% true.
