It was a paintballing accident believe it or not lol
During one of the games, I managed to catch my foot in some roots whilst running for cover & in the process I snapped my ankle cleaned off from the leg joint. Basically the skin was the only part holding my foot on :smiley:
So now I have a plate in there holding the ankle to the fibula/tibula with 3 pins holding that all in place. I will be able to get back to some sort of normality eventually except for the fact I will have limited movement of my foot for the rest of my life, basically can only move my foot up & down slightly but side to side movement I have lost completely.

Sounds like an horrendous injury. Hope you're up and running around soon.
