After being out of work for over two months from a broken ankle, I finally get to go back to work. I saw the orthopedist yesterday and talked him into signing me off to go back. Today I went and got a new first class medical. I sit reserve tomorrow thru friday and i have a 4 day trip on monday.

Good for you. Bet it feels good to get the green light.

How did things work with the AME? If I remember correctly you were wondering what you would need to do with him after your surgery?

No recurrent for you? Or is that only after 90 days?

I just took my note from my orthopedist saying i was released to work to the AME and that was good enough for him.

No recurrent, it's been about 70 days since I flew last, so I'm still current.

Terrific man, i was following your story about your ankle and such! Hope all is well now!

Good to hear you can go back to work!

well, it's about TIME!

glad it all worked out with the ortho doc!!

I bet it feels good to be walking again huh?!

Walking still hurts but i'm glad to be mobile without crutches. Today was my first day of reserve, usually i hope they don't call, but I really want to get out there and fly after two and a half months off. It will still be several more months until I'm able to go back to work with the air force again.
