Melissa,
Sorry to hear the news. Make sure you get a excellent orthopedic. The feet and ankels aren't something you want pain in the rest of your life. Take care and make the twins and hubby take care of the little one for awhile. Sit back and enjoy being pampered. It doesn't happen very often.Comment

Hang in there Mrs. W, we're thinking of you. Hopefully, this will get that ankle taken care of once-and-for-all.Larry R. Rogers

I haven't read the posts on other threads, but have concerns about the care you are receiving based on your note on this thread.
If you are "waiting to hear about an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon" then what kind of non-orthopedic surgeon is currently treating you?
Usually an unstable ankle is surgically repaired either immediately post fracture or after 2-3 days to allow initial swelling to subside. A poorly healed fracture could be operated on even years after a fracture. But it sounds unusual to have this kind of situation where they considered the fracture stable enough not to need surgery initially, then unstable enough to need surgery only weeks later. With proper immobilization, there should have been no change in the position of the bones.
Please be sure you are seeing well qualified doctors, preferably at a major teaching hospital. Best of luck to you.darksider
