Hey y’all.
So I broke my ankle yesterday playing kickball… (trying to slide to base was a terrible idea) & I’m having to get surgery Friday. From the sounds of it I’m getting 2 plates. I broke my ankle in 3 places (fibula & tibia have fractures) they told me it’s a 8-12 week recovery window.
My question is this: I have a trip to Japan booked from 6/22-7/9... already have paid for it. I’ve been wanting to go for a very long time. The nurse lady I saw today said it should be doable & I’ll probably just will need a knee scooter to help get around. Does anyone here have any similar experience they can share as far as international traveling a couple months after surgery? Was it doable? how was the pain? any words of encouragement? I’m really mad at myself for sliding.. it was a spur of the moment decision.. and knowing it might interfere with a trip I’ve been waiting 14 years for makes it extra hard to not beat myself up about it.. plus it hurts 😭
