So I managed to break my left fibula skiing back on January 14th. It was a simple mid-shaft fracture, with everything seemingly in the right place (there were a few pieces). I spent the first week hobbling around on crutches, but after seeing someone at orthopedics they gave me directions that I could walk on it as much as I could stand... Things were pretty ouchie at first, but at this point it's gotten a lot better.
I'm curious if anyone else has experience with healing from a similar fracture... and how soon you felt ready/healed to get back out on the slopes. I plan on asking orthopedics at my 5-week follow-up for their guidance, but am trying to gauge if I should keep hope alive for being on the slopes again this season... or prepare myself for the wait for 2022/2023 instead.
