Dang Conrad that is rough. That shot is really great though. Honestly I would do the surgery to make sure you do not have it heal wrong. If that happens then that will put a serious restriction on your photography. It will make it a real pain getting to those remote places.
I cannot tell you what the surgery is like from the patient side, but as an old OR Nurse I can tell you that healing is normally much better with the surgery. Also, most of the screws and plates used now are non-ferrrous and will not set on the metal detectors.
Good Luck and get better soon... we all want to see more pictures.

Crap bro So sorry to hear you are laid up. Been there done that though so I feel for ya.
From this sample however, I'm thinking you are taking a bit of solace in the knowledge you FREAKIN NAILED this Owl buddy
spooky cool shot Conrad. Those eyes are intense! What are all the little white specs? These are magnificent owls to see. I guess you will have memories of these for many years to come for an obvious reason
Watch your email, I just may have some floral RAW's to cut loose on that should keep you busy for a few weeks
Sorry to hear about the leg. My advise is do the surgery. I had a boot top break in 7th grade and were given the same option. I got the cast. My leg is 5/8 shorter, yeah I limp kinda, I can't spend too much time on flat surfaces or my hips get all in a bind, and now that I'm nearly 50 I have recently found out what all those people say about the weather changing. That's still a shock as it feels like it's broke all over again until the front passes.
On the up side, it hasn't really slowed me down much. I hiked, hunted, fished, and rode ever since. Walking on the left side of the road naturally works for me since the curb is lower and I had broke my right leg so it's like I'm walking on flat ground
Awesome photo Conrad !!! sorry about your injury - speaking from experience go for the surgical restoration if the ligaments are damaged, you need them, alternative is frequent future sprained ankles when they don't do what they are designed for.
So sorry to hear you are laid up. Been there done that though so I feel for ya.
