I went to the orthopedic doctor yesterday to get a cast put on. They did an x-ray before hand, and even though I haven't injured the ankle further, the chip of my tibia has moved away from the main bone. If they were to just put a cast on, they estimated that it would take over 4 months before the ankle would heal. So they, are going to put a screw in, attaching the chip. With the surgery, it should only be 4-6 weeks before I am out of the cast.
The surgery will be under general anesthesia, and I'm not looking forward to it--or the recuperation afterward. I'm glad that I have my netbook computer and Roku box (for streaming Netflix videos) to keep me entertained.
