Surgeon:
-The joint line is mostly invisible.
-Still stay off it for the most part, though I can drive with the boot off or with a Croc/sandal. Still need to go down the stairs on my butt, pushing myself up or down to the next step.
-In two weeks, I can start walking with the boot and some balancing exercises without the boot.
-Follow up is October 23rd at 9:45 AM.
After 4 years, I'll be able to at least walk without pain. And for someone who used to run marathons, being able to walk is a pretty big accomplishment.

Flat out, referee should’ve abandoned that match just based on what you’re describing. If both teams are debating whether to play or not, don’t f-ing play.

Soccer tonight was abysmal. There was debate over whether we wanted to play or not. Fields were absolute trash. Worse than soldier field in December. We all agreed to take about 50% off and take it easy. Ref made some comment about liability, which was nonsense.
I managed to make some good saves but there was zero traction. Most of the attempts ended up with a face full of mud and a nearly pulled groin.
Anyways, we probably shouldn't have played. Next field over had a really bad injury. Ambulance and fire rescue team got called. Ambulance had to drive onto the field. They were lucky as **** they didn't get stuck.
I sent an email to the league and the parks department last month telling them someone was going to get injured really bad on these fields. I think I said something like "I've played here for a decade and these fields are the most dangerous I've ever seen them." Kind of want to reach out to that other team and tell them if they sue they should probably look for league surveys from last month.

Good thing about recovery is that a lot of people are bringing me home cooking and shelf-stable protein.

I was given an Aircast today.
My right calf is going be STRONG after having to lift this thing for 4 weeks.

Thank you. There won't be a marathon or triathlon anytime soon, but walking without pain would be wonderful.
You take the trouble to construct a civilization, to build a society based on the principles of... of principle. You make government and art and realize that they are, must be, both the same. You bring things to the saddest of all points, to the point where there is something to lose. Then, all at once, through all the music, through all the sensible sounds of men building, attempting, comes the Dies Irae. And what is it? What does the trumpet sound?

Surgery went well. While I'm not too concerned with overeating right now, I'm thinking lots of protein and more calcium will help expedite the healing process.

Huh. Aggressively cleaning my apartment 4 days a week has been enough of a workout.
