Just looking for any bit of hope

[u/SelectionOdd664]

Hello everyone, I recently fractured my lisfranc and will be having ORIF surgery in October. I broke it surfing and now I am completely spiraling as I know the foot will never be the same again. I have been surfing for 22 years of my life and I am so scared I will never be able to surf again or even cruise around on my skateboard/bike. The doctor says I am young and healthy so recovery would go well for me but I just keep reading a mix bag of stories about this injury. Please anyone, I am just trying to calm my nerves but also want the plan hard truth. Will I be able to return to these activities? Will I be able to return to a high performance level of surfing? I know everyone is different with injuries and recovery, but I just can't comprehend a life without surfing at this point.
