You tell your doctor it is not healed yet, there is still pain in it. He will examine you and the ankle and most likely will give you another note to take to the Department of motor vehicles for an extension. That is between you and your doctor.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
