Arthroscopic Ankle Surgery

Well, my running career is on hold now that I just had arthroscopic ankle surgery. My foot was hurting pretty badly since I took a spill off a ski lift at Mt. Snow. I guess it didnt help either that I continued to ski on it for a few days and also tried to run on it. Not smart. Seek medical help immediately if you ever have pains after an accident. You'll only make it worse.

The Hospital for Special Surgery is the best place to go in Manhattan from what I've heard and only one ankle surgeon there takes insurance and that's Dr. Andrew Elliott. I'm scheduled for surgery there this Thursday, September 18.

I'll post details and pictures on the surgery in upcoming posts. Wish me luck!
