Angel Jones, a 42-year-old elementary school...
Angel Jones, a 42-year-old elementary school teacher and mother of two, had always been active, but a childhood ankle fracture that healed poorly left her with a subtle, lifelong limp. Over the last five years, the pain in her right ankle became a constant companion, sharp and burning after a day on her feet in the classroom. Simple walks with her kids were cut short, and she started avoiding stairs. Her orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Evans, explained that her talus bone was misaligned, causing uneven wear and early arthritis. He recommended a calcaneal osteotomy, a procedure to cut and realign her heel bone to correct the ankle's position. Terrified of surgery but desperate for change, Angel underwent the procedure. The initial recovery in a non-weight-bearing cast for six weeks was challenging, relying heavily on her family. However, after months of dedicated physical therapy, the difference was profound. The chronic, grinding pain was gone. She can now stand all day at school without wincing and recently went on a family hiking trip. Emotionally, she moved from feeling broken and limited, a spectator in her own life, to reclaiming her identity as an active, present mother and teacher, overwhelmed with gratitude for her regained mobility.
