10wweks on road too recovery

So here Iam ten weeks since I fell and broke my ankle .On the road too recovery although it's taking a hell of a lot longer than I could imagine .It was such a relief when the cast came off I can't tell you how happy I was .I was given an air boot for a few weeks and it felt much more comfortable than the cast .

I'am gonna post some photos of my foot,it still makes me cringe looking at them .

This was my foot when the cast came off excuse the hair lol.

The sexy boot .

I could only partially weight bare during this time but at least I could take the boot off ,I did sleep in it too begin with because I felt very vulnerable still.

It has tested me both physically and emotionally ,it's defentially put our marriage too the test ,it's been very frustrating for us both really ,although I could not have gone through this without him he's done everything he can for me .

My first physio session was ok and I got exercises too do while at home ,I even managed a trip in the car too my parents spent the week end there it was just so refreshing too get out these four walls .

I managed too walk down too my brothers with the boot on and crutches ,I did not walk back ,my foot was very swollen the next day .

As this photo proves .

I have had another physio session and do not need too wear the boot unless I go out ,I've been out once with it on but too be honest it feels really odd back on when I've had it off for a while not comfortable at all.So now fully wieght bearing and I can't believe how wooden the foot feels ,and I get pain all around the foot from the toes too across the foot ,sometimes it feels like something really heavy has fallen on my foot,another time it's my ankle where the plates and screws are ,Iam guessing the pain is quite normal it's more aggravating than anything else ,although if I stand a while I know about it,and if I sit and rest then get back up it stiffens up and once again Iam hobbling round like a little old lady.

This is the result of me walking around for a long period of time .

At least now I can do a bit around the house ,I did cook a meal last week but I suffered big time and knew about it the next day.

I'am at the point now I feel like it's taking very long too gain full use of my ankle Iam due back at work in two weeks I don't think Iam ready ,and makes me sad Iam not used too taking time out sick,but I can't possibly care for others and stay 6-12 hours on my feet .

I can't even get in and out the bath without my husbands help,it scares me getting out the bath I have lost lots of confidence,things you normally take for granted,and going down stairs I need him too be in front of me and I get a bit scared Iam gonna fall ,or even brake the ankle again.

People assume oh you won't get board I have all sorts too do but I still get board,I have days I feel really down and depressed and another day I'll have a really positive day,it us hard too stay positive ,I am lucky it wasn't worse I really am,I forget that sometimes though ,I feel my best after a bath and if I get out for a meal which has only been two meals.

I have always been quite active so it's took quite a lot away from me.

So there we go that's the update ,I will update again in a couple of weeks time.
