First week

Had surgery last month, recovering well from that. Feeling mostly better, one day at a time, taking care of my health and the complications that came from the surgery and that diagnosis.
In the fall my foot started hurt, odd symptom, used a brace I had from a previous injury, saw the Urgent Care doctor after about a week as it wasn't getting better. Diagnosed it as a sprain. No big deal, being diabetic, sprains and such can be slow to heal. Just before Halloween I broke my ankle while out with a friend. Stupid moment, nothing that I could have prevented. Luckily it wasn't worse. After 2 months it wasn't healing, again not unexpected due to being diabetic and where the break was. Doctor sends me for further tests to see what exactly is going on and find out I have a coalition in my ankle. Extremely rare, something I was born with. And the reason why I have broke and sprained this ankle/foot so many times since I was a child, why little sprains take longer to heal and hurt worse, why simple turns break it. The first symptom in the fall, before the break was a symptom of this coalition, not a sprain, though most doctors commonly diagnose complications of this as sprains.
Had to see a specialist, (that took some time getting an appointment), so I spent 5 months in a boot, 5 weeks in a brace and now in a cast, for at least 4 weeks, along with crutches. Possibly will be longer, depending on how my ankle responds to the cast. Still my have to have surgery to fix this coalition. I am now on my first week in the cast and on crutches.
