Awwww bless her What a nightmare âĶ..but at least it sounds like a clean break SlimâĶ.it could have been worse âĶ.you could have ended up with a whole load of metal work like me .how long have you got to have the boot on for ?
Oh my gosh Slim!!!!! My ankles are cringing in sympathy.
@Baz posted:Awwww bless her
They couldn't say exactly, but hopefully no more than 6/8 weeks....if I'm careful

So is mine âĶ.especially when she said about the crack

It hurt/s but could have been so much worse ...thankfully the traffic had slowed down for the lights
@Baz posted:
Yeah, it was the mention of the cracking that noticeably set mine off!
@slimfern posted:No on the contrary...she told me to try and use the foot as much as normal as I can bear....only with the boot on though
Oh thatâs lucky then Slim âĶ.I had to be totally non weigh bearing for 6 weeksâĶthen partial for another few weeks âĶ.even with the boot on âĶ.but I guess the fact that I managed to totally smash the ankle âĶ.âĶ.. âĶ..I wouldnât mind , but I literally only tripped down two stairs

I'd try, but rather hesitantly at first!

Oh thatâs lucky then âĶ.one less thing to have to negotiate I had to sleep on the sofa for 6 weeks âĶ.and wash in the kitchen sink âĶ.cos I couldnât get up the stairs âĶ.really made me appreciate both my bed , and my bath though

Yes absolutely 
I did the same injury to my left foot at boarding school doing mobilising, had to be carried from the gym hall to sick bay by the gym master....was the envy of all the girls
Had to have a plaster up to my knee then...navigating crutches in the snow was not easy

I can well imagine I had a road accident when I was in my teens âĶ.other leg to my angle âĶ.and ended up with pins and plates in it âĶ.I was in plaster from toe to hip for several months âĶ.like you , right through winter âĶ.but I had a rocker on the bottom , so no crutches .

Must be a nightmare for you going through the metal detector at customs
I had a metal pin put in my elbow aged 12....dislocated it & chipped a piece of bone...the pin was to stop the bone from traveling & getting in the way of the joint.........Had badgered my Mum for heeled shoes....she finally gave in...the heel was only 2inches ffs

Kind of you to ask Dame
It's more of an annoyance & inconvenience tbh...and not the first time I've had to go for a wee on my hands & knees
