Busted Ankle
On Monday I was working in Basingstoke whilst leaving the office I rolled my left ankle both ways on the stairs. It promptly swelled up, so I was taken the Hospital. After some xrays and prodding, I was told it was broken once maybe twice and that I had to be in plaster for 6 weeks!
I had to stay at a colleagues house for the night and go back to see the fracture specialist where they would discuss recovery and may decide to pin it!
However the specialist said there not sure if its is broke (sure – make a decision!) and I may have a bad sprain and tissue damage. However when I told them what I had been told the previous day they seemed to have some doubt and I am now in a air boot (or beckham boot as she called it!) which I should try to walk on as its load bearing cast. What got me though was they said there was some small things on the xray but they wouldn’t be able to fix them, so if I have bone fragments then surely thats a break?
However how thing stand currently I cant put any weight on it and Im having to fully use crutches. I am meant to be being referred to the local hospital however ive tried to chase that this morning as I wanted to know what exactly ive done and how long I need to stay off etc. However I was told details wont be passed on until next week!
So at the moment im sat on my but at home not being able to move to well. Ive closed of the dates until next Friday and obviously come of this weekends game. Hopefully after this weekend I will have a better idea of what ive done. However even with soft tissue damage I may be looking more than a few weeks.
