Broke by tibia and fibula

(included a picture of the xray, post op xray, and a drawing of what my roommate said it looked like) This happened about 8 months ago, It took 1 rod and 8 screws to fix everything, i was completely bed ridden for 6 weeks, and i couldn't walk without a walker for 6 months, be careful with your ladders people, make sure they are secure, dont hand wave it away because this could happen to you. Surgery happened 25 hours after the break and lasted for about 3 hours, the 25 hours that i was conscious felt like days, i dont remember alot of what happened thankfully because of how many drugs i was on
