First off, I'm sorry you're reading this list because either you or a close family/friend broke an ankle/foot and it's not FUN!! I broke my right ankle (fibula) May 2023 and then the same right ankle again, June 2024 (tibia this time). It was terrrrrible both times lol but especially the first. I couldn't put ANY weight on my foot for 6 straight weeks, whereas the last time in 2024 when I broke it, I was able to walk using my boot. But two weeks after breaking it in 2023, with the non-weight bearing, I had my planned trip to Belgium and still went. These things saved me during my healing time and traveling while injured. I flew from New Jersey to a layover in Iceland then to Belgium and vice versa on the way home with a broke ankle not being able to walk. I used wheelchair services in the airport and that made my life much easier. If you're going through this too and wanna talk about it with someone who understands, lmk! It definitely would've helped me knowing someone who went through the same thing.
