Clinic

More X-Rays of course. But more important right now is the pain in my wrist. Helen the physio gave me a comfy crutch to spread the load.  It made me wonder why they don't issue these as standard for those people who will spend several months on them.

The next check-up should be in 4 weeks time. In that time I have somehow got to learn to walk again. The problem is that the ankle doesn't bend very well, and so it's almost impossible to put weight on the leg and move over it without putting huge bending pressure on the ankle, which causes pain up the front of the shin.

I've now been given an Exogen machine. I am to use it for 20 minutes every day. These things cost a heck of a lot of money, and for some reason have a very limited lifespan.
