Busted Ankle Update
Thursday, January 24, 2008 at 4:43PM
Having had some further pain last night from my ankle and seeing how much bruising I have. I went to my local hospital today. I had to go through A&E which was a long tedious experience, but to be fair I was a returning patient so didn't expect to be seen quickly.
They re-xray'd my Ankle and confirmed it isnt broken. However I have tissue and ligament damage. Its good news that its not broken and the doctor took my Robocop leg of me. He wants me to keep it elevated but when I need to walk then to put weight on it (trust me easier said than done at the moment!) to try and build the strenght. If also got some painkillers that I need to take for a week.
If its no better next week (as if) then I need to go back and they will look organise physio for me. Which to be honest im going to be knocking on my doctors door for that anyway I think next week.
