Went to see the consultant today
- Took the cast off
- foot / ankle still a total mess - swelling, bruising, pain and unable to move it/ put any pressure on it.
- lots of muscle wastage in calf - pretty much useless.
- more x rays
- then I was put in another non weight bearing cast from toes to just below knee - a scarlet one this time!
- CT scan
- another appointment in two weeks- sick note for another two weeks from today - to then be reviewed at the next appointment
- Strict instructions to keep it elevated as high as possible, for as long as possible
- no idea yet when I will be able to return to work.Not impressed – I was really hoping to be able to have the cast off and start gradually walking again. But it felt so vile, washing over me to the very tips of my fingers. Suddenly I felt so vulnerable. I was hoping it would just be the air hitting my skin, but actually it was internal and external, leaving me feeling fragile and pathetic.
Not how I need to feel at the moment, not at all.
Never mind, little by little, keep plodding.
