Well, I am finally out of my splint! I had it for 2 weeks, and now I am in a boot. I am allowed to start putting weight on my leg, too. So, going up and down the stairs is going to be a whole lot easier. I thought that maybe my leg would be smaller, since I haven't used it in 2 weeks, but it is still really swollen from the break. It is starting to turn some really nice shades of purple, too.
I was able to see the x-rays from before my surgery. It looks like a pretty bad break. The x-rays from today look pretty cool with the rod and screws in my leg. The little bone that looks like it is still broken is apparently supposed to be right there.

after 2 weeks
Well, I am sorry if any of these pictures were too graphic. I am not disgusted by broken bones or blood or other such things, but I know that some people are. So, sorry.
