Hi Jabeh - Nice to hear from you! I broke my fibula and tibia and have a plate with 5 screws on the outside and one big screw on the inside. I fractured my other ankle about 23 years ago (another slip and fall on ice - I'm such a klutz) which I had surgery on and hasn't bothered me at all. I guess this is taking longer as it was a bad break. There is a small space between 2 of the bones that shouldn't be there, the surgeon may have to go back in and put a additional screw in the plate. I guess it's a wait and see. I ditched the walking boot about 2 weeks ago and can get into a running shoe. The physiotherapist suggested I get compression stockings to help with the swelling and I must say, it does provide some stability and it doesn't swell quite as much :) So sorry to hear about Samson, I know how tough it is to lose a fur baby.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
