My heart goes out to you Donna, because I am feeling all of the same emotions you are. I am so depressed because since April 22, 2003 my life changed. I also have a trimalleolar fracture and I can't believe that I am unable to walk or drive. I am still using crutches and my hands are so sore. This type of fracture is no picnic and I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Who would ever think breaking an ankle would be so painful? I am so relieved to hear that I am not the only one who feels this way.
