Another Surgery In My Future?
/1 Comment/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanMet with Dr. Chang again this morning. We took new x-rays and he says the bones have healed up nicely. I completed 12 sessions of physical therapy and can almost walk (slowly) without a limp. Though I feel my ankle and maybe calf muscles are giving me more problems than where the breaks were. There […]
