Can get a reconstruction apparently. And given the extent of the damage it may even need to be fused...which I absolutely won't do regardless of how painful it is otherwise.
reconstruction is for softcocks.

Just live with the pain forever and be sure to remind everyone of your heroics everytime they want to give you grief.

Tell the missus it's cancer, just to get her off your back.

My ankle is causing me all sorts of agony at the moment...normally I don't worry a lot about stuff like that but when I get up in the morning and can't walk for half an hour I do get a little concerned.

go and get it checked out by a physio.. i had an issue which i used to just play through using painkillers and then ice the crap out of it afterwards..

eventually got too bad that i sought help..

long and short of it.. if i'd got help at the start, would have been fixed in 4 weeks.. because i dicked around, did more damage to it and ended up a 6 month recovery..

Oh I've been having physio on and off for three years since the actual injury...I definitely know what I've done. Which, in medical terms, as best as I remember it, is "f**ked everything right up".

For that to happen I would need to commit some kind of heroics....or even something mildly useful that I could pass off as heroics with enough dramatic overacting.

Living with the pain is the heroics.

You can say things like "You don't know what pain I go through every day you f**king ungrateful merkins!!!" everytime you go to the drive thru for example.

Don't underestimate, nor deny yourself the sheer utopian joy that comes with being a cranky old merkin.

You don't see Twizzle or Willow moping about and sounding sad ;-)

Pfft. That's nothing.

Wife is 8 months pregnant. Had to tell her yesterday that I have cancer.

Beat that.

(Thyroid cancer, very good survival rates given my scan results)

As she's in pain and delivering her baby, just remind her of the pain you endure everyday and how it's immensely worse than anything she's ever felt

"But you don't hear me screaming and yelling and bellowing like an old cow about it"

*BTW - hope the cancer f**ks off quick smart.
