Wow,

I guess I got lucky. But then, my ortho guy was a civilian. He actually did a terrific job, but then he tried to med board me out!! Weird. I told them at the board to take a hike and that I wanted to be returned to full duty. I was back on full duty about 14 weeks after I had to have the surgery on my foot. Apparently, I had broken it at some point, it had healed and I had to get it RE-broken (definitely worse the second time). At any rate, the doc did good work, and thanks to him I can function fine now. I was in the Navy at the time, however. I have noticed that since I got to Bragg the caliber of the medical treatment has gotten a little shabby. Just my .02.
I did the whole, cast, walking cast, robot leg thing too.....that was fun!!
