Squidkidsdad get screwed times five
Mike's ankle let go on him several months ago. Tendons and bones deteriated (diabetes probably) to the point his right ankle turned 90 degrees to the right. New England Baptist surgeons just turned it back the other way by reattaching five bones, with screws and bone grafts, that had come unglued, shortening two tendons and reattaching them, plus using some bone from his knee to fuse in the ankle to help with the process. So the operation looks like it was successful and he is going to rehab in Weymouth somehwere today where he'll be for awhile.
In two weeks they will take the bandages off and put on a cast, and cntonue with rehab for quite sometime.
He stayed in the private suite where all the athletes stay after they have been operated on. Could see Fenway Park and of course the Citgo sign. Two nurses had him standing yesterday trying to get him to pee. One on one side and the other on the other side. He finally said, no way way I am going to be able to pee in front of you two especially while one of you is holding the cup. He could use some of the great mojo found here. Thanks

Good luck Mike. Get well soon!

Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

I'd like to help, but there is NO WAY I'm holding that cup!!!
But seriously, I hope he has a quick recovery (and that doesn't mean pushing himself too far too fast!)
Nothing can be as humbling as a foot/leg injury where you lose most of your mobility.

Mike - Best of luck! I hope you have a speedy recovery
But I refuse to hold the cup for you (or anything else for that matter).

Saw him today in Weymouth in the Liberty Park Ind. Ctr. way out back where there is a nursing home/rehab center. Going to start with three hours of physical stuff every day in the next day or two. He is happy the operation finally took place and he can start getting back on his feet (pun intended) very soon. VB see you on the island.

SKD - Here's to a quick recovery and keep up with the Rehab, do everything they say ... I have a strong idea of what you are going through, as I was in that position for about six months last year.
Good luck, and look forward to the great news of your recovery.

Best of luck with the recovery. My niece works at NEB, I'll have to ask her if she was involved.
