I broke my left ankle in 2 places on May 1, 2025 Read the Latest Update.

A bimalleolar fracture is an ankle fracture that involves both the tibia and fibula, the lower leg bones that end on either side of the ankle. They form the small bumps on the inner side and the outer side of your ankle. Most bimalleolar and trimalleolar ankle fractures are serious injuries.

My office and most of my product inventory is now in my new upstairs office so I am able to fill orders easily without having to have my husband go downstairs and get what is neede, I also have a 3D printer in my new office so I can keep designing new products. The new office may become permanent even after physical therapy is complete in about a year from now. We will decide that when we get there.

As of today, I am back on extra strength Acetaminophen pain killers every six hours. No need for the more powerful stuff, I was on, since May 4 2025. The pain is bearable as long I continue to elevate and ice.

My husband brought up, from my shipping station, most of the inventory I have for filling orders. Right now he has to help me get to the products needed to fill the orders since we don't have enough shelving to hold everything. We ordered new shelving to accomodate all of my containers I use to store the bead rollers and other bead making tools I sell.

I went to my first postop visit and saw the Same PA I saw last year in May and June for my broken Right Hand ring finger. He recognized me after I told him what I broke last year and he said, yeah, are you the one that was using some sort of equipment? I said yes, I was using the Arbor Press I have. Then I said, I wonder what I will break next May!. He repsonded with "Nothing I Hope!". Me: Let's hope! lol. He looked at the ankle and the incision and said everything looked good. No signs of blood clots or infection.

Today was sugery day for my broken ankle. Everything went well and I am on the mend. After my sugery they gave me a blueberry muffin and coffee to make sure I could eat and keep it down. They they sent me home. The nurses and doctors were great! I felt very well taken care of.

My step son Kevin and his wife Heidi will be here on Sunday May 11 to help me and my husband. We are moving my office to a spare bedroom, right off of my living room so I can continue doing daily updates and perhaps fill orders.

My computer is now set up in a spare bedroom so now I am able to daily updates. Since I do need help getting to my office and order processing area, in the basement, I am not able to process orders for at least a week or two. After June 20, I may only be able to get to my basement work area, 2 days a week. I am not sure how long it will be where I will need a lot of help to do what I do. I do know my ankle needs surgery, which is on Friday May 9, 2025. After that, I am not sure what will happen.
