Hi, I was in an MVA and crushed my right ankle, almost amputating it. My toes were facing the back of my foot on the right. I was bed-ridden for 3 years whilst having close to 8 surgeries on the left foot and 2 surgeries on the right knee and femur. My right knee was up in my thigh. With 8 surgeries to try to save the foot and salvage some motion. Finally gave in to the pain and said yes to the fusion! It was a grand surgery that took months of wearing an external fixator. Have it tightened every week to make the bones meet together and fuse. After fusion was successful it was a year or so getting use to walking
