Default The word of the day was Broken
So I fianlly was able to connect with ortho today and after new pictures the verdict is absolutely Broken but on the mend. The actual socket of the ankle joint is ok however just below the socket on the inside of the ankle is a neat little piece hanging out... well long story short the cast is gone and I have a removable brace, check back in 2 weeks to see if it is bonding and if not I am screwd... literally probably 2 screws to put everything back together again...

The x-rays of the knee are pointing toward soft tissue damage but we will get more into that in 2 weeks...
