I had a very traumatic accident while at work in 2015, I supervised a landscaping crew a was ran over by a lawnmower. It shattered my right ankle and broke my foot completly off my tibia, I had to have a internal fixation and recieved an external fixation just to try and put things back in place. Things didnt get well as the doctors thought so they then suggested ankle fusion, after much thought and prayer ankle surgery was an option to help the recovery better. After months after having the surgery im still unable to bear any weight, still in pain and the doctor still has no real answers to when will I ever walk again. Im two months away from it being almost a year since my last surgery, there was talk about possibly having a bone grafting procedure but I said no because none of the past proposed solutions have worked so I'm uneasy to rushing to have something else done. Is there anyone with any advice as to what I should do next, anything will help?
