Jan had surgery on her right ankle on Tuesday. The Dr. said that the tendon was torn much worse than the MRI showed. He had to do a lot more sewing than he thought. He also tightened up a ligament to make the ankle much more stable. He also scraped off a large bone spur that was causing most of her pain.
Jan is doing quite well. She has had a bit of pain, but the painkillers she was given have done a great job of keeping it bearable. The Dr. had told me that she would be in a lot of pain, but she has been pleased that the pain isn't as bad as he said it would be. She is supposed to keep her foot elevated and only get up to use the bathroom. So, she has spent the last two days in bed, reading and doing puzzles and watching TV. She has an appointment next Tuesday and weshould know how she is coming with her recovery.
