Thread: Positive Waves (Best Wishes) for DonV!

Hello All!

Thanks again for your words of encouragement and well wishes! Just thought I'd chime in and let you know, one week later and I saw the doctor today. Got the temp cast off and staples out. Every thing looks great! I'm going to attach a picture of what you helped me through. It may look bad to you, but it looks totally awesome to me! Trust me, unfortunately, I know what bad looks like, this is better than I expected. Nice and straight, no swelling, nothing icky, perfect job. We figure fives with my pretty purple cast, no weight on it for five weeks and I'll go from there.

After it heals up, I propose we come up with a contest for a fitting tattoo to go along with it. I've been kicking around, construction zone above it, ya really need to see the messed up side, and on the long straight one pictured, maybe boot laces going up it? I don't know, long time till it's ready for that.

Thanks again, Don Vieira

Wow man. I've had knee surgery, but nothing that major. I'm glad you're on the downward slope of it!

Glad everything is going to plan Don. Hope your fully recovered soon :thumbup:

Hey Don,
That's one cool looking scar, I agree with the Tatt idea though. I hope you are keeping your chin up!

Your good friend Carl.

(PS, Keep up the PMs, esp if you're bored and have nothing to do, I really enjoy writing to my friends on here...)

I suggest a guillotine tattoo!
Of course, you can never go wrong with a Maple Leaf!

Not a little mermaid?

Hey Gang!!

Just an update to the ongoing saga that is my ankle!! I went to the doctor yesterday and he said everything looked good, right on schedule as far as recovery goes. I had been worried because of some swelling I've been having, but he told me it was because I'm moving it more and pushing it a bit. Still on crutches, with a boot thing, but I can put a little weight on it. And now, for your enjoyment and as a reward for reading this, Picture of my shinny new ankle. And, no, I just don't see how anyone would think it looks in any way phallic! Just kidding!!

looks great,you are now a man of TITANIUM get well man.

Glad you're healing well! It's a long road, but you'll get there. Keep at it man!
