So surgery came and went

So I had surgery on July 20th and it was a success. For once I can say I am totally pain free. I had it done July 20th and spent about 13 days recovering at my parents until I could drive. I did have some little trouble with the pain meds but I'm back to going to meetings, talking with people, and working the steps. The incision looks awesome (seeing how they wen through the same incision I figured it would look worse but doesn't). I did have some problems right before surgery after they gave me the nerve block my blood pressure dropped to 88/60 (normally i only run 110/80) and my parents were worried but everything went well. The stuff that they had seen on the bone scan turned out to be just really bad irritation and so there is nothing more that has to be done. I will wear a walking boot until Aug 30th and then I can be off and running again in two matching shoes. I will laugh because I had a couple friends tell me they want shoes just like mine. I used to say when I first broke my ankle last year that I had to go back to my parents house but in reality they let me come home. It's one of the benifits that has come from the past year.
