I had surgery about a week ago. It was so silly. They told me I needed all these pins and screws. But when I wake up there's 2 tiny holes in my ankle and no repair done at all. I am very upset. There can't be nothing wrong. It hurts so bad! I can't walk uphill because it doesn't even bend. (I find out later in 2004 they missed a ton of damage and eventually got it repaired the right way by a civilian doctor in NM.) I get 2 weeks of medical leave woohoo! I put in forms to go home but am only allowed 7 days.
