Thanks for the insight. I got the stint off, and the staples removed at the doc yesterday. I ran out of the hydrocodene last Sunday I have not taken any since. I can see why people can get addicted to those, haha. I don't need any more vices that is for sure. I also haven't drank since I broke it either. Not saying I am quitting, just don't feel like having any. I am not in much pain, but there is still swelling. They put a full plaster cast on it and I can do 25% weight bearing on the broken ankle. They gave me a small boot thing that I strap to the cast to put a little weight on it. 3 1/2 weeks I get this cut off and a walking boot with full weight bearing. I was on my crutches/driving pickup moving cows home all day because I am selling calves this Tuesday. I have it propped up, tingling some right now, but no pain.
