I had my ankle totally fused,4 screws. No movement whatsoever.
I have adjusted by eliminated steps and curbs, I go around them or ask if there is an elevator at the event/office I will be going to. I also have a Handicap Tag that I use and take with me when someone else drives so I have access to easy entry. You can download the handicap form and take it to the doc to sign.
I had to eliminate many activities, tennis and running are out, but I can walk and use the elliptical, weight training and swimming are good. It is a matter of adjusting and accepting your new life. My family knows I cannot go to the beach and accept it.
I was not able to put weight on my ankle after surgery for 4mos and the the first month I had a lot of swelling and minimun pain. It should get better for you and make your OWN destiny.
I wish you the best.
