A few weeks ago, I sustained a broken ankle.
Not something that I'd advise anyone to try, but it's not the first time this has happened (although it is the first time I've been run over by a car!) Anyway, I've had a few breaks throughout my life but this is the first since being diagnosed diabetic type II.
The NHS have been great, but no-one seems to know how my diabetes will affect the break. They're treating me as "normal" - I hope I am, but I have somehow got it into my head that the diabetes will somehow slow down the knitting process of the bones.
At six weeks, I'm now back to full weight bearing and while physically I feel fine, this diabetes/healing thing is playing on my mind ... so I guess this is the place to ask ...
Anyone?
