oh dear... you did a good job then. i guess it has been 6-7 weeks now. the left is a bit of an unknown as i dont know where the screws and plates are, let alone what they are there for, ie where the fractures are. i have a seminar in a week at flemington. feel free to come along and bring your xrays and MRI scans ( or CT scan?). make no mistake, you will need rehab. the last thing you want from this is ongoing pain or dysfunction, which to some degree is highly likely anyway. sounds like you have been through enough already. is the left one very red and splochy as well as swollen? how long ago was the surgery?

it sounds like you could start doing some weight bearing on the right foot. this could give you some mobility on crutches a bit down the track. i have a set in the clinic you are welcome to borrow. without seeing it, though, i would be very reluctant to give you generic advice; your situation strikes me as too complicated for that. with that many fixtures, i would say you had multiple breaks.
