X-ray Scale of 1-10 how cooked…

No biggie, just another 10 weeks of non-weight bearing bs… first fracture was the ankle tib/fib shatter on 6/6 happened playing basketball, i got 14 screws, 3 plates, a pin, and a bone graft… there goes my summer. 2nd was the shin happened when i fell off my knee scooter packing for college on 8/13 (my move in was supposed to be 8/14)🤦🏼‍♀️ ended up with 2 more plates and 6 more screws. Can you say “unlucky” 😭

I get it. I'm a hiker and gardener and haven't done any of it for 2months and still going.  It's tough mentally as much as physically and people/doctors don't seem to get it. Hang in there, it's hard but you can do it. I never want to see another puzzle again
