Went hospital today for an xray and an appointment with the doctor for my broken fibula 12 days since the injury happened
Had the xray, then to the plaster room where they say according to the xray it has healed very well so far. happy days
So now according to my notes my cast is to come off and im to have one of those walking boot things.
The plaster dude thinks its far to early for the boot and i have to agree with him, although the leg does feel better the thought of having no support whilst sleeping scares me a bit.
Anyway he has to follow orders, cast off, boot on...... the bloody boot weighs a ton believe me.
Now i have make my way the see the doctor to discuss my progress and the do's and dont's of the boot.
Can hardly keep my foot off the floor and getting to the waiting room is pure agony.
Get sat down and just cant see how im in this boot it just dont feel right..
After an hour plus wait, get to see a different doctor as my one is over booked or some excuse like that.
As soon as he reads how long ive been in plaster he cannot believe i have been put in the boot, he explains the healing so far could not have gone any better, however it was as bad a break you can get without needing surgery..
Well thats the first time anyone has told me that..
He takes the boot off and then has a prod of my ankle and the fractured area an inch or 2 above the ankle, and as he suspects as i do......pain !!!
So back in plaster for 3 more weeks, no boot till then, i cant believe im glad im in plaster again.. at least i know where i am now.
Not happy with my original doctor,gonna make a point of not seeing him again..
Back to propping my foot up again and sky sports news all day.. happy days.
