The Surgery and Pain of my broken ankle


After the accident, couple of bystanders helped and took me to nearest hospital where emergency treatment was given. The X-ray confirmed broken ankle and dislocation. But the pain of realizing I met with such an accident was unbearable. I just cannot believe what was happening.
My Shoes torn apart and bike completely crushed. If it wasn't for them, the damage to my leg would've be extensive.It took most of the impact.

Mom came to the hospital and she maintained her composure, on the outside, but I know she'd be broken as me on the inside. My friends from Office also came to help around. I owe them (Thamari, Jothibalan, Aravind and Sakthi) for the timely help with money, arranging things and being with me the whole day till the surgery. Thanks Guys! :)

Waited for the doctor to come by for about 3hrs and once he arrive I was taken to a separate room. I didn't know what was going on and without warning the doctor just pulled my right ankle so that the dislocation was fixed. That was the most paining experience of my life and heard bones cracking. After fixing the dislocation they stabilized my ankle with POP and I was transferred to our desired hospital.

I was given anesthesia, an injection to my spine with no pain at all, which sort of numb the lower part of my body while I was still awake. The surgery went fine and my ankle was fixed, ORIF, with a plate and 7 screws.
