Happy Birthday hello_spikey 

In other news cop a load of this:



So the cast is off and I'm able to get upstairs with hovering ambulance men in the background. Best thing so far was sticking my foot in a bowl of hot soapy water and then rubbing on baby oil. Aahh!

I now have a plate holding my leg together with 5 screws. I wonder if I'll set off airport alarms? Anyway, I'm relearning how to walk which currently involves leaning on the walker and making slightly better progress than just hopping. Physio consists of waving my foot in the air in clockwise and anti-clockwise directions and working my quads. I have another appointment in 4 weeks time and I aim to use those four weeks very lazily.

Your wound looks good! Good luck on your recovery.

Thank you! The wound looks even better now though swollen and hot and various bits of my foot go 'ouch' now and again, but I feel tons better.\o/

Ankle flexing is hard though :(
