ankle surgery :/

Hi ! 🌞

My name is Chloe and I got ankle surgery. Broke my tibia and my fibula. 8 screws and 1 plate.

Before this injury, I did a 5k and have truly fallen in love with running. I love volleyball and racket sports too.

Currently, I’m non weight bearing for about 5 more weeks. Then partial weight bearing will start for another 6 more weeks. Doc said that it could heal faster than that since i’m 23 and healthy.

I want to sign up for a half marathon! Is it possible to have a bunch of screws in your foot and still be able to complete one? I feel semi alone in this battle.

And - since I can’t move much, what are some things that I could work on health habits wise now, that would greatly benefit me later?

thank you :))
