oh... its because the front of the heel was crushed so they had no place to insert the screws :-(

yeah. the screws probably are providing structural support. and preventing arthritic pain.

Thanks Perna

i guess it is worth finding out about one day. debridement etc. they even have ankle replacement surgeries now...

it is hard standing, i guess. feel like i'm walking through water (the amount of effort it takes to move forwards).

i'm just... starting to grieve for this now, i guess. instead of grieving that i lived through it i'm starting to grieve for the limitations on my life.
