Hey huns

Well as some of you know i am having my operation tomoro ..... to shorten the ligament in my left ankle so it stops coming out of place ... and wobbling about

I am a tad worried but it has got to be done ...

So i might not be around for a while .... prolly a few days ... but i am off work for at least ...2 weeks ... and could be anything up to 12 weeks .... fingers crossed for only 2 ... im gonna go insane with boredom so i have no doubt i will be on here as soon as i can :O)

Wish me luck huns

hey huns

I thought i would pop on and give you an update on my progress Smile

i am now in no pain Smile

and because of this i am finding it easier to get around just because the cast isnt causing pain by rubbing the wound etc..... so i can now go to the loo on my own ...(i feel like such a big girl lol) because i can pull myself up on the side of the bath or bed ....

my shoulders and chest dont hurt anymore from using the crutches ..... so using the crutches is a little easier ... my palms are still sore ... but that is expected ...

i have my appointment to see my surgeon on the 24th ...to have the stitches removed and new cast put on and im so excited and interested to see what they have done to my ankle Smile

and have a proper chat with him about what they did and how it went and stuff Smile

so all in all everything is going well .... just waiting for the 24th now ... because after that i should be able to put some pressure on the cast and get around easier Smile

hoora xx

hey huns

well ... i have had quite possibly the worst outcome to today Sad

as many of you know i went to the hospital for check up and stitches out .... and heres the outcome ...

* i am in the cast for a further 4 weeks .... in which has to be non weight baring
*after the 4 weeks and cast comes of i will have 1 week without cast which will still be non weight baring
*after that i will see a physiotherapist .... who will begin getting my ankle working again .....

*it is the physio who will decide when i can go back to work .... which my surgeon has said wont be til at least the middle of June Crying or Very sad

im so so so so upset ... its been such a poo day

on the plus side ...

* i have now got a lighter cast .... all fibreglass
*the stitches are out
*the wound is ... ok ... not infected and not as big as i thought .... still about 2 inches arcross my ankle though Shocked

I did take photos ... i'll put them on the bottom of this ....

so ... im rather upset and to top it of ....work has forced me to hand all work/ responsiblity to another person at work and although she tries hard she isnt good with parents .... has trouble communicating (think its because she is indian ... her accent makes her come accross more harsh than she means too) so my club that i have worked so hard on is in the hands of someone i dont really think is capable enough to be running it without me on hand ..... but they have given me no choice Sad

WHEN CAST CAME OFF >>>>
