Got my walking boot today (5 weeks since injury). Doc showed me the xrays and the bone definitely didn't mend back to the main bone but it IS still undisplaced which is good. He said that he did not expect it to mend back but that it doesn't really matter because the ligaments are holding it in place (surely not the ligament that tore it off in the first place though? I'm still confused about how it can be considered healed if still broken but oh well...)

Nonetheless, he said I would forget the injury happened in a couple months time. Hopefully I'm never reminded of it again, which would mean the ankle has redundant connections by design. Hate to be a pessimist, but I do expect to be reminded of this injury again in due time...

Pain has been virtually nonexistant. Some discomfort/soreness but only sometimes randomly. I mostly, even when moving around, feel no discomfort at all.

Will update again in three weeks. That's when I'm supposed to get out of the walking boot for good (and into some physical therapy)
