Ankle update
All is well with my ankle. Saw the doc today and I'm officially done with the boot.
No more restrictions on walking, but I'm supposed to avoid high-impact activities (weight-lifting, kick boxing, dance, etc.) until April.
Still some soreness, and the occasional twinge during direction changes.
I'm also probably always going to be slightly duck-footed on that side, but the doc says that it should rotate back most of the way to straight. I'm going to have issues with stairs for a while yet, as the dorsal flexion (I think that's what it's called) is limited, and may never recover full range due to the screws limiting the range of motion.
All the screws are staying in, unless some other future complication develops.
