Not sure what that has to do with ankle distraction - I just like saying Happy Cinco de Mayo.
Not much new to report this week. Didn't have to go to the doctor, which was a nice relief. Doing my own pin care since my nurse neighbor went on vacation. Need longer arms for those outside heel pins. But everything looking good. Talked with Phoenix doctor and he only plans to remove frame while I'm there. Leaving permanent pins and spurs alone for now. Was able to call and arrange a knee scooter for the week I'm there. So, now just continue ROM and weight bearing for a couple of weeks and then we'll see what's in store during Phase II of this project. Had a chiropractic adjustment yesterday. Seems to have done wonders for the attitude. :) Also fell yesterday. Just stood up, lost my balance, and realized I was going down and had to hold up caged foot and not fall on dog in the process. "Good" knee hit pretty hard, but it still works so I guess we're OK. Like I said, the going slow thing has gotten old by now and it's hard to be patient with myself. Guess this was a sign I need to pay more attention.
