[Photos and post from 31 March 2016. \u00a0Yay!<\/em>]<\/p>\n

After two false starts, the third time was the charm, and the horizontal screw<\/a> was finally removed today. \u00a0Yay!<\/p>\n

It didn’t start off well, as I had to wait for over an hour after I arrived, because they ran into trouble with a more involved screw removal ahead of me in line. But, once they got started, it went really smoothly, and wasn’t painful except for the numbing (as always). <\/p>\n

I could feel right away that I’ve got more range of motion in my ankle. Instead of being limited to second position (ballet style)<\/a>, I can now stand (crookedly) in first position<\/a>, i.e. with my heels together.<\/p>\n

Now I just have to relearn how to walk. \u00a0Yay! (5 images total)<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>

This was in me.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

\"My<\/a>

My iodined foot, and the big portable x-ray scanner before they really got going.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Waiting<\/a>

Waiting for the local anesthetic to kick in.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"With<\/a>

With a lovely bandage, and tube sock to keep it in place for a few days.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/a>

The top of the screw, just for kicks.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
