Well, I am on my way to healing the broken ankle. I had surgery on 2/4 where they put it all back together with screws. I haven't seen the x-rays yet, but my sis and hubby said that there are definitely more than three in there. I got a good look at the incision sites yesterday and I am sporting at least 24 staples. I will end up with two long scars, one on each side of me ankle/foot. I am also multicolored as a result of the bruising - my brother in law Neil suggested I stop playing the the yellow paint!! I have started drinking pineapple juice with the hopes that it will start to heal the bruising. There is a enzyme in pineapples that breaks down clots.
As the the century ride - I think I will be asking for a deferral until next year. I am pretty scared to get back on a bike right now. I really need to concentrate on losing some more weight and getting a lot stronger.
