It's still hot, mum

General state of me-ness...

I went back to work on the 5th with B driving me in every day except the 8th, when I had a clinic appointment. Off with the boot and on with the walking. I still couldn't drive for a few days, but I'm now reasonably okay. Good movement but lousy strength and balance, and quite a lot of swelling and intermittent aches. I'd ordered a wobble board and some therapy band material before Christmas, so have been using those. Yes I can still design my own exercises *g*. Although I should get a physio referral for a proper evaluation, because this didn't come out of the blue, I'd been worried about the stability in that ankle for a while. Not that it would have prevented what actually happened, but it's definitely something to consider.

Also, have a week off until the 27th, so I've been around a little more.

I haven't been around for some time so I have no idea what happened to you, but I'm sending good vibes anyway!!

I broke my ankle (fibula) in November and had a cast on until Christmas Eve, then a walking boot. 6 weeks at home, although I did telecommute for some of it.

Thanks!

Good luck with regaining the muscle strength. :-)

Thanks! Unfortunately the heat we're experiencing at the moment makes me feel like the little feller in my icon. Have to work at it!

Glad to hear the boot is gone and things are looking good:) Hope you go well with the exercises and regaining strength.

It's definitely worth having an assessment on the ankle, there could be some underlying weakness there that can be treated.

I do have to push myself to exercise daily, especially in the heat. Needs to be done, though. Same for that assessment - now I've talked myself into it I must organise something!
