@pianopain12 I thought of you and your leprechauns when I was having an MRI a few days ago as I was listening to all the clanging and thumping that was going on around me. I also got through my surgery just fine. I hope you are finding what you need in medical care.

@pianopain12 I wanted to check in with you. I am now 3 weeks past my ankle surgery and feeling pretty good. I was brave looking around the operating room and chatting with the anesthesia nurse. While my gurney was being pushed to the operating room, I could see my surgeon chatting with other doctors in scrubs and lab coats who were probably the orthopedic residents there to watch my surgery which was to remove the plates and screws from my ankle. I have felt a lot better since that was removed, and rehab this time around is so much easier than last year after the ankle fracture because I don't have any weight bearing restrictions. My ankle complains a bit, but that's OK.
