apparently that tiny little chunk of white to the left of my ankle bone is where the ligament took some bone with it when it tore
it's a sharp little pain right there but the ligaments have all been healing exceptionally well and I'm doing the same physical therapy they had me do when I got injured in boot camp
Ouch. Does it hurt when you press it, and/or while walking or other movements?

Got allergy meds since my nose is constantly stuffed for three seasons out of the year. And my throats is sore to the point of affecting my voice.
Doc gave me generic Zyrtec and Flonase to try for six weeks.
Zyrtec turns me into a highly functional
, and the Flonase seems to give me a near constant low grade ocular migraine for half the day.
Stopped the Zyrtec after a week.
With the Flonase at least I can breathe , sleep properly, and not have a sore throat.
Yay pharmaceuticals.

so basically they said it has gotten way worse since 2008. My dad got pissed off and said why the hell didn't my doctor tell me i had one back in 2008? The hospital said take it up with your doctor.

That's a scary fuckin' surgery. Hopefully they caught it in time.

Yeah, that's a tough one wicks. Hope your pop makes it though

Had a coworker whose dad had an aortic dissection and an emergency surgery for it, two years ago. He's still kicking. Definitely lost a step though.
It is a very serious surgery, Wickie, and a serious condition. That actor John Ritter put off his surgery for that condition (nicknamed AAA), and it killed him. Your father needs an experienced surgeon in this particular procedure and a good hospital. Many patients do well after the surgery and need to have the operation for sure, but the procedure has risks.
also, I don't think anyone here is Medicare-aged, but for older family members who are and who have Medicare, at-risk patients can have a one-time screening that is covered by Part B
