Fell over whilst on holiday last week in Poznan, Poland, I thought it was just a bad sprain to ny right ankle so refused to go to hospital as it was our last day...
Limped home thru Luton Airport (ouch - it was a long walk!) and when we got home rang my Dr and got an appt for later that day. She took one look at the ankle, prodded it and after peeling me off the ceiling insisted I went for an xray at the local hospital, who confirmed I've fractured the base of my fibula (thats the thin leg bone...)
So I'm lying on the sofa, foot up and well strapped up, feeling very sorry for myself, cos DH has gone out and left me alone. No crutches 'cos my shoulders are too weak (one from falling on it, the other I dislocated a few years back) and I'll do more damage than good, so just a walking stick and instructions to stay off my foot as much as possible, keeping it elevated to aid healing and avoid DVT's so not much chance of sewing - got nothing currently prepped for hand piecing!
