Conrad,

I've had the same surgery that you are contemplating. It's also the same surgery that athletes get when they break their ankle. You are an athlete. Anyone willing to endure -21 degrees for their love is an athlete. You would be better off getting the surgery. Recovery for me was about 4 weeks and now my ankle sets off airport metal detectors which is fun when they break out the wand to see what you have. Good luck with your decision. PM me if you want anymore details about my surgery.

By the way, beautiful shot!!!!!

Keith





I'm seriously considering surgery Keith. I don't want arthritis when I get older. The whole airport metal detector thing sounds fun

A very effective image Conrad. Love the overall tone. The angle of the owl really shows its build and coloration. Looking forward to more! And get well soon.






Got way more on the way! Thank you!

Sounds like the worst part of the whole ordeal is that you are going to limit yourself to only one image per post per day. Hope you recover quickly, whatever you decide. (I'd lean toward getting it fixed right. I just remember my camera "legs" and how many tripods I went through before getting it done right.)

Best wishes and we will enjoy the "Conrad one-a-days."

Dave






Haha!!! Thanks Dave!

A spectacular shot, wow. I know it's a tough call on what to do for your ankle. In general "Do Less" is good advice, but some surgeons are very good at this stuff.
Mark







Thank you Mark! I've got an xray appt tomorrow. I'll decide then!

+1 as well. I do hope will be AOK. Have surgery and get it right from the git go.

Oh the heck with your ankle, how your equipment?.......

The photo is awesome, I would not expect anything less from you.

Haha! My gear was in my truck when I fell, so its just fine Grandpa

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 know... I think I will get surgery.
