I've just returned from the hospital and have my cast off. You may think great??? But no!
The fracture hasn't healed and I guess this is what the surgeon meant by me having future problems. They are hoping over the next four weeks that the fracture will knit together as apparently moving around can actually promote healing. I have never heard of this and I doubt a 60 hour work week on my feet won't help, but hey ho!
They told me to today that my fracture was actually a spiral fracture and the look on my face I guess said it all. If you aren't aware spiral fractures are incredibly hard to heal and the break is somewhat like a corkscrew effect.
Anyway if it hasn't healed in 4 weeks I will need surgery.
I need a drink, but I can't because of the antibiotics i'm taking ... I hate my life at present.
I'm going to have a long soak in the bath now, my leg looks nasty, all scaly and hairy, so it needs a damn good scrub.
