I think they are not being nearly aggressive enough in your treatment. And this whole thing about age being the main factor in surgery is lame.Do they expect You to live in pain and disability for the next ten years? Go see somebody else and when you go do not tell that doctor of the previous doctors findings. That way he or she will not be biased in their diagnosis. As always your friend. fkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662968327054666593.post-67780678414214085392009-12-16T19:06:14.704-06:002009-12-16T19:06:14.704-06:00Oh HB~ I am sending hugs from NM.

I am so glad YOF went with you, and I am praying for you here.<br /><br />I have heard this conversation about a cane, although it was for Bill after he had his accident. It took him nearly a year to come to grips with it as he was 37 when he had his accident. I am so understanding of what you are feeling, and have an ear whenever you wish to vent.<br /><br />JenHumble wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823200562312609670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662968327054666593.post-35344601937559138662009-12-16T18:31:02.584-06:002009-12-16T18:31:02.584-06:00Even if the second opinion is no better than the f...Even if the second opinion is no better than the first, I'm not going to quit riding. I am already working on a splint that will fit INSIDE my riding boot and I think it will work. I don't need support from my ankle to ride. I can ride with no stirrups at all. But I need to have support for when I dismount ...planned or unplanned. Sunshine and temperatures in the mid-60's this weekend ...my horse better eat her Wheaties the next couple of days, I plan to give us both a work out this weekend.HossBosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444735851486747330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662968327054666593.post-71344947277962161412009-12-16T17:07:06.060-06:002009-12-16T17:07:06.060-06:00(((HB)))

Is there a way YOF could fashion a special kind of stirrup that would keep your ankle stabilized?<br /><br />Good luck to you my friend, I will keep saying prayers for you.<br /><br />Hugs~n~Love<br />~Felinae~Felinaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07997272830181104083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662968327054666593.post-66227360089768835482009-12-16T15:42:35.643-06:002009-12-16T15:42:35.643-06:00so sorry to hear that your ankle is that bad.
