Broken ankle

[flossy]

  Hi bupster,

  Glad to hear you're up and about - don't do too much too soon as it will take a bit of time.

   Did mine at 50, 16yrs ago - I slid down a bank and smacked a tree [ don't ask ] .....  have
  pins , scews, and a plate - always wanted to set the alarms off at Heathrow but never did !

  Used to crawl round the garden when in plaster and have to wash it with Fairy liquid to get the green
  off.    Will say,   ' if you don't use it - you'll lose it ' so keep up with the Physio, i still do my ' rotating '
  excercises- don't know why , but it used to stiffen something chronic in the early years [ old bones ].

  To encourage you, once well healed my ankle has not stopped me from doing anything -- I dig
  away and don't give it a thought. 

  Just to add, the prognosis wasn't good apparently , and a very soulful surgeon came to tell me
  that he '  had done the best he could  '  ,  I shook his hand and thanked him for every thing he'd
  done.

   He was  from Iraq  --  and we were at war at the time.
