Ten years ago, my life changed in an instant. I fractured 3 bones in my right ankle, which required surgery, physical therapy and a long recovery. To this day, I see the disfigurement of my ankle and the scars from the surgery. I check YES on medical forms now when asked if I have any implants as I have a plate with several screws on my right side and two long screws on the other side of my ankle. I could have these removed, but they don’t bother me any longer.
