I have found out that the longer your ankle is fused the more problems you have. Mine's been fused for 15-16 years and I've developed numerous problems the past few years. The arthritis in my foot is horrendous. I, like you, can forecast the weather. I have fallen too, a number of times. My doctor told me I had to slow down. Usually I fell when turning. I do know your ankle can be set so you can wear short heels, my surgeon and I discussed that prior to my surgery. Wearing heels was the least of my worries!!! I still have swelling in my ankle and sometimes my leg. However, I am grateful I can walk. My life has been altered forever.
