Another Update lol

Just come back from the Fracture Clinic since having the accident.

Cast came off.. and they had to pull stitches out that were stuck in one of the wounds so that was excruciating. Other wound had disposable in thankfully.

New Cast put back on. Everything seems to be healing perfectly.

It was quite a nasty shock as they showed me the xray pictures that were taken today. I really didn't know how much they have put in my leg/ankle.

I have 2 huge screws going diagnolly through my ankle bone and tibia.. then on the other side of my leg I have a plate and 6 big screws going up that leg. I was never told how many or what they had put in just that it was screwed n plated. So quite a shock seeing it for first time.

Back in 4weeks time again.

Yeah starting to definately believe that now sqad.. bloody pain is horrible. Guess it
was a shocker to see it properly.

Plus last couple of days the trauma of it all has hit me and I keep crying.
