It may be too personal to ask how but you can PM me if you want. Man, that's awful, I feel for you and hope the recovery goes well.

I covered it in another thread, I think, but will explain again.  

I was working in the garage and it was raining.  I slipped on the wet floor with my left foot and my right leg pretty much 'folded up' underneath me.  It almost happened in slo-mo.  Quite honestly, I'm surprised I didn't [BLEEP] up my knee too because my right foot pretty much touched my [BLEEP].  I knew it was going to be bad before I ever looked.  I felt the ankle pop.  It was pretty gruesome looking (especially since it was my damn foot).  I see the ortho at 2:00.  Hopefully I don't need any surgery.  I'll find out in a few hours.

Still in a pretty good amount of pain.  If I miss my pain med dose, I sure know it.

Plus I haven't had to use crutches in almost 40 years.  It's a lot tougher at 63 than it was at 25.  I'm exhausted by the end of the day.
