I'm 9 weeks in on my ankle fusion and 8 months post my injury. I wanted an amputation vs a fusion. My docs said no because it would cause more psychological harm than good. I totally disagreed. My coworkers call me gimpy. I find that much harder to deal with. I would have much rather had the amputation while I'm healthy vs waiting for knee, hip and joint pain.
I must say I do not have any pain presently because I'm no weight bearing for 8-10 more weeks.
Wonder what life will be like in the next few months?
