Wow sorry to hear that! I hope your wife and you recover and get back to normal day life. I had broken my ankle three times but the first was time I broke it was really bad which caused the future ankle issues. Whenever I play sports mainly basketball I wear a knee brace ( car accident tore MCL) and my ankle bracelet( this happened when I landed from getting a rebound playing basketball and landed sideways and heard my ankle snap). My fathers a doctor and I was out for 6 weeks for the ankle until a new x ray would say otherwise.
Recovery is no joke if you don't want any future issues. What you went through is intense but now you have to get better for your child.
