July 11, 2012 The Hits Just Keep on Comin'

Just so you don't think that my total knee recovery is going along without a hitch....apparently I have injured the posterior tibial tendon in my left ankle.

For those of you playing at home, it was my RIGHT knee that was replaced and it is my LEFT ankle that is pucked up.

So, I have this wonderful boot on my left foot and am back to using a walker.  My doctor is confident that this will do the trick in about 4 weeks.  *sigh*

It's true, if I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

In the interest of full disclosure (I'm all about full disclosure, as you well know) it seems that the ankle injury is a result of overuse, i.e. using my left foot and ankle to life my entire fat ass in and out of the car and up and down stairs.  I my defense, what was I to do?  My right leg was not rising to the challenge and I had to be somewhat mobile, right?

Who knew I would pay for it later?

This was never discussed in Joint Camp.
