Hi Nicola. Annoying question time. How long did your ankle take to get back to normal (if it did!) and did you have to have screws and plate in it? I have done exactly what you describe and it's driving mad not to be already fixed!!! Grrr
The healing is not too bad it's just the end of day swelling, lack of muscle and shrunken tendons etc. am apparently healing really well but I can hardly bend it to walk. I'm looking like Quasimodo without the crutch
you don't realise how much you bend your ankle forward when you walk until you can't do it. Also I am a very impatient Scorpio am thought I'd be all back to normal by now. How is your wrist doing? X

Thanks. I know I have to be patient and do my exercises like a good girl but......... Aaaagh!!

I asked if they had the right x rays. I would suspect, like you, we never thought a break ( a smash up) would end up, 3 months down the line, still having treatment and not back to normal. I'm still going to hand therapy clinic every week and I have better use of my hand now, no real pain any more , but wrist still locked in same position, Getting there though, as this is my first ever break at 56, is it your first too ?

Although, I'm going for hydrotherapy at the hospital on 5th with Nick (not met him yet) but a nice hot tub with a fit young man doesn't sound too bad to me. Need 5 sessions apparently. Oh what a hardship

I have to sit at a table with Kevin the other side measuring the angles of wrist, fingers, joints, bent, and straightened ( well actually still bent).......................... and you're a married woman as well, ahhhh shucks
I could lie and say yes, first ever break but unfortunately I actually broke the second toe on the same foot 2 weeks before the ankle playing football on a trampoline. Careless I know heehee. Was break free up to age 38 and 3/4Hi MrsB, I know exactly how you feel, I still have a Quasimodo arm.! Reading " you are apparently healing well" is the same as me, hospital told me my wrist had healed remarkably well

I've had five colonoscopies (one with something being removed), 2 emergency hospital admissions (unrelated to D), 2 molar extractions and my experience has been that nursing staff seem to be more worried about diabetics but purely because they don't know enough, only that their BG should be so and so.
Hope it goes well!
Keep us informed.
My mother' ship replacement transformed her life. Hope your op does the same.
