The iliac crest is not so bad.
I'd say the bigger problem is that a bone graft in the ankle area might fail because the blood circulation can be difficult there.

Argh and yes the blood circulation thing I was going to hold back
only positive vibes
POSITIVE only
think women and men I said a morphine pump he needs to hear that wimps like me made it
through and climb and dance no jokes about the peg please this is for him we all want him better and it will be along road
If you have great tact and can advocate for him his doctors need to hear that he deserves the best and that they are the best
lavish praise to feed the god complex that doctors are notorious for having
this is hart felt and for those that have weathered the storm how's that going for you two years seven years and like me many positive positive positive only
until we hear the pirate himself smile and joke
OKAY 'NOUGH said I'll snuff this and you if you 'locker' this sshype

Thanks for the good energy! Love you all. <3
It went super well today, docs said way better than expected. They even shaved some of my ankle bone so it will get more mobility back.
I dyed my hair purple and painted my toe nails pink. Got a good laugh from the Otho surgeon who is always so serious. Just had to put fun energy into the hospital to lighten the mood, haha. Life is too short to not have some fun with it.
Hopefully get discharged tomorrow.

And that is why the Jolly Roger is smiling
good on ya and the second mate gets the last dance
careful with Anita fixation love is a doomed construction
Where I live we are haveing the animals fighting back
Foxes and bears and children stealing phones
to call in swat teams in a Swating events
That is the name that's given when it is a fake call
It's funny and juvenile the modern crank call on meth
Heads up and full sails 😜🎏🎆🐜the ant has been declared the winner the best climber in the world

I gotta say, your attitude continually impresses me, but I suppose that is to be expected at this point. Which is why you will undoubtedly get through this with flying colors in record time. Cheers Ammon, you got this.

Thanks DMT, but I did let it heal last time. I got an infection that was there since the original injury. The doc said if I wasn't as active as I was then I wouldn't have noticed for many months and the bugs would have eaten more bone which probably would have had to have it amputated.
For some reason everyone thinks I didn't let it heal properly, but that is not the case.
Thanks for the good energy everyone. Hoping to get discharged from the hospital today.

Right on brotha, it will be good to meet you. I've just been hearing "let it heal this time" for so long it starts to strike a nerve. I really did baby it and did everything the docs said to do. Just had some bad luck with the bone eaters, haha.
Cheers!

Ammon is right - being active strengthens the bone.
Decades ago I had a broken leg but did not walk on it.
No bone grew back to knit it back together, until I was able to walk on it.

Keeping the good energy flowing right before surgery:
Got discharged late afternoon yesterday and went straight to the Valley Uprising screening. I thought it was very well done and super entertaining. It really got me pumped to climb and jump, once I'm healed up of course.
Thanks for the good vibes and energy. You guys and gals are awesome!!
