It seems my clever strategy of writing "NOT THIS FOOT!" on my good ankle was successful.
The surgeon reattached the ligament and removed a floating piece of bone (ewwww). No fusion or graft. Such a relief.
The first two days were absolutely f#$%ing excruciating, but everything is much better now.
Still a bit weary and dopey. My saintly Mama is staying with us and has taken Noddie on her Saturday Train Adventure as J is at work. I want to be like her when I grow up.
Plan "No dishes for me, mwahahaha!" still working well.
Thanks 100000000000000000000000000000 times for all your supportive comments and thoughts. I got all blinky when J brought them in for me to read. *wipes eyes again*
More anon, sleepyheads
oh, that's just me :)

Speedy recovery - definitely no dishes, that would cause a major relapse!
OMG there was a floating bone in you? Ueewk, but have to say my hubby broke his 6 ribs 2 years ago and had the same, the pieces did not come together and they called it floating ends. It touched his lungs or chest muscles and he was in a lot of pain for a very long time, now he is all ok.
But ... this is about you! So yay, for a successful operation and being home again. I wish you a happy and speedy recovery again.
Stay positive and enjoy the spoils coming your way.
Dopey gooood.
Excruciating pain baaaaaaad.
No dishes goood.
Big healing thoughts for you!
Glad it went so well! Heal fast and not too much chocolate :-)
Yay for Mum being there to help out!! You just rest until you feel like hobbling around...
that's the kind of cast/bandage that should get you LOADS of sympathy! Sooooooo glad that you are out of pain!
Did hubby get you the flowers I told him to get?!?!
Lovely mother you have!
I'm sending you all good wishes for a speedy recovery. This will be hard but we are all here pulling for you.
:)
oooh hope you have a speedy recovery and that you are being waited on at all times :)
Sounds like a success- glad they got that extra bone out too while they were there. How good is spousal unit for blogging for you too! Stay right where you are and don't touch the dishes, washing or any other nasty cleaning related activities.
That's a VERY impressive cast! I'm glad the surgery went well and that it sounds like it wasn't as bad as you'd feared! Best wishes for a speedy recovery - I'm quite sure that No Dishes is a requirement until you're at full speed again!
Such pretty pretty legs! Especially the one on its way back to perfection ;-)
Speedy and pain free recovery vibes heading your way. No dishes and plenty of Ebay are my plans for recovery.
Hey .... that badnage is way to clean .... where are all the signatures and drawings to colour it up.
Hope we still see to ay Y & J's .....
Take care

Still looks painful. My thoughts are with you. I'd dedicate a run to you, but I'm not running. How about I dedicate a cycling commute to you? Not quite as glamorous as a run but at least you'll be getting some exercise.
Get well soon. Take it nice and easy :)))
you poor thing.
get well. try not to think of the killer razor stubble. milk the new service. insist that the mister wear a french maid's outfit.
