Thanks Karen -pain is not an issue, at least since the surgery. On Friday when the ankle had just been re-aligned on Thursday night, I was in pain and pretty wigged out on drugs - which I hate and I do have a high pain tolerance, but not then, anyway, once they did the surgery last night the pain was pretty non existent. Now frustration is a whole other issue, and I am definitely that! Oh well, I can't change it, and will just have to adjust as time goes on.
