Great news Lancer. I will continue to pray for you both, you'll need some prayers too. My hubby, Mr. Super-Paratrooper broke his ankle before we married, 37 yrs ago and finally after 3 operations had screws put in to fuse it. He said he should have had that done the first time. Walks with no pain now, first time in 30 years. But speaking from experience, you'll be worn out from doing little extras you never thought about before. We found that a plastic tie up trash bag around the ankle works well for taking a shower when you get that far along.

Well, that'll just make airports an even bigger hassle than they already are.  I guess when she recovers, she'll just have to ride everywhere!

Heh, my stepfather has a prosthetic leg.  He hates the handscanning crap so he always stops, pulls his leg off, lays it on the conveyor belt and hops through the arch.  You should see the looks he gets.
