Two X-rays of a left foot from above. Left one is from google and shows solid bones sitting in their proper formation. To the right, my X-ray shows more damaged bones in the front ankle area.

I survived 48 years without a broken bone and have never been in a cast until now. I got a bunionectomy/ankle ligament replacement/repair 2 weeks ago. This was at least 15 years overdue, gifts of an active outdoor life. #onestepatatime #runner #marathoner #healingjourney #bunionectomy #anklesurgery
