GMac's Ankle

Will he be auctioning off his old ankle for NIL money? That's a championship ankle.

The dreaded potato ankle

I actually had that once.

Had to get surgery and everything.

You had the dreaded potato ankle... Are you saying you were baked? Or did you just mash it? I hope you weren't roasted.

Or, were you pivoting?

I mean it was pretty bad so prolly all of the above.

I'm squeamish with medical stuff so I just kind of trusted my podiatrist.

Had it. Worst recovery ever

Yes, similar to Achilles surgery with the non-weight bearing part of recovery. He’s tougher than I am, but it will suck and be disruptive to daily life.

much different and worse than achillies, but similar in terms of no weight bearing for a while and a scooter. The biggest diffference is that you heal from an achillies whereas with an artificial ankle joint you can never run, jump, cut, etc. ever again to any degree close to before. My doctor basically said the only time I can jog is when I am crossing a street and a car is coming. I am three years out and though better than before the replacement in terms of walking and daily life, my days of doing anything athletic are over. He will be in bed for 6 weeks.
