My name is Alexandria and I was the same age when I got into my accident. I was in a motorcycle accident that completely destroyed my right ankle. After 10 surgeries, the reshaped my ankle and I walked normal after being in crutches for 10 months. But after the first year I was in a lot of pain. Like you, I went back in forth with getting my ankle fused. I was afraid of complication and not being able to do certain things, but with the amount of pain I was in I thought it would be the best move. Last year in August I got it fused. Let me say, It was the best thing that has happened to me. I'm no longer in pain and I can still wear certain shoes. I walk with a limp without shoes but that is not a bad price to pay considering where I was before. Its going to be a long journey and Im still trying to figure things out in life, but Im happy that I made that decision and Im looking forward on whats next. I sure hope this helped in a way and I hope you know you can always reach out to me to talk about the different things you can expect. You are a strong person from what you went through and you are going to change the world with what happened to you.
