    Glad to hear I am not alone!!!! But sorry to hear anyone else is going thru the same trial! I broke my Leg last year on Feb.12, 2012. After being casted, the Dr. kept insisting that I needed to be more physical with my workouts. He didn't know me, I had been running on it, but it didn't want to. Not that I couldn't, I did, I just knew I shouldn't. The Dr. finally did a MRI and the leg had never healed. Needless to say, I went to a new Dr. Had a surgery in June 2012 to pin break together. Then I was in a boot for a 4 months. Graduated to a shoe and had balance issues. 2nd surgery was Jan. 2013 to replace ligaments in my ankle.

    It too has been a terrible time. I had made a promise to myself 3 years prior to be in the best shape ever at 50, having lost 54lbs before this happened and at the gym a min. of 3 times a week. It was my life. This week with cast and all and only 3 months left till my 50th, I have decided to stop feeling bad for myself. I have never stopped going to the gym, just not regularly. I am hitting the gym routinely this week and tracking it. I hope your back walking by now, maybe even running! Let me know where your at!

    However, it sounds like it has been a long recovery.
