Thread: Laid up with a broken ankle

I managed to break my ankle a couple of weeks ago, just by falling over in a dead faint. I even had to have a plate and a screw put in it, so it's all been quite a shock. I'm not allowed to put any weight on it at all for the time being so I've been at home recuperating with the help of the lads.



Herbie on my lap



Nap time with Monty!

Oh bless,what a thing to have happen to you,have they found out why you fainted....? The one good thing is obviously having prime time with your furries but not the bestest way to get it although Herbie & Monty seem to have taken advantage of having mum immobile pretty quickly,healing hugs & cuddles from us all....xxx

oh no you poor thing!!! hope it doesn't hurt?
hugs!

Ouch You poor thing ... hopefully lot of cuddles from the boys are making you feel better tho x

I am sorry to hear about the broken ankle! I hope you feel better soon and they figure out why you fainted. It is nice to have so many friends to keep you company while you recuperate! I on the other hand am just a klutz, I tripped over my sister's sidewalk and landed on a tree root. I thought I broke my ribs, the doc says they are just bruised but they hurt like heck!

Thanks everyone! It was very painful for the first week and I really leaned on the painkillers they gave me. But then it was really OK, just had to be careful to keep my balance on the crutches. Today they took the cast off and fitted me with an air boot which means I can start to walk on it a bit, and it already feels much better. Don't know why the faint happened, as I've never fainted before, so still need to investigate this with the docs as I don't want to do it again!!

Oh dear donnad, I do hope you feel better soon. Bruised ribs are awful!
