I forgot the timing of events, and my flat-mate needed her laptop back. So I had nothing to use while I was in-patient.
2'nd operation went better than expected. Sadly, the third became really infected. I had got left with option of really bad nerve damage, or removal. I ended up having them take everything from the lower tibia/fibula off. I got stuck with in-patient for a few extra days, but I won't be sufferin' the effects for the rest of my life either.
I'll be down and out for a bit', I suppose. But I'll be back around, when I'm feelin' up to it.
I managed to skim most of this thread though after the fact.
I felt the need to chime in somethin', so people wouldn't worry.
