Ernie: "Well, at least I'm finally putting this broken ankle thing behind me. Feels to good to be able to walk normally again. Bacteria: "Cash me outside how bow dat?"
Last week I noticed a small pustule had formed along the lateral (outside) incision line of my ankle surgery. Other than it itching a little bit I didn't give it much thought, but at The Boss Lady's insistence, I made an appointment with the orthopedic doc. He takes one look at it and says, "that's an infection." Swabs the area with iodine, cuts a tiny 2mm incision and squeezes. Light brown boogers come out. He swabs it up and dends it off for a culture, and gives me a prescription for antibiotics with a follow up scheduled for this morning. While we caught it somewhat early, the doc believes the bacteria has set up camp on the surgical hardware itself, and the only solution is to gank the hardware out. So the surgical plate and ten screws on the left side of my ankle are coming out.
If there is a silver lining, it's that I am now seven months post surgery, we are far enough along to not have to worry too much about re-fracture. So provided I don't do anything too vigorous, like play basketball or start jogging, I should be back to (what can pass for) normal after a month, allowing the screw holes time to fill in. The removal surgery is scheduled for this Friday, so odds are there probably won't be an update that day. Added bonus: new calendar year, so insurance deductibles have all reset, hurray.
So yeah, everything is terrible here.
See if you can't make me feel a little better by finding this blue sign and showing me what's in the box.
