Cripple no more

So the cast was literally sawed off this morning, quite a dramatic event. It’s looking good though, I even managed to walk out of the hospital without the use of crutches. My days of a cripple are over. I have to wear my A60 ankle brace for approximately 6 weeks when walking, but I obviously don’t have to wear it when cycling or swimming. I have an appointment with a physio tomorrow morning, so I should have a much clearer guideline for my recovery then.

It’s very strange to be able to walk all of a sudden, but the feeling of freedom is amazing. Most of us take walking for granted, so it’s good to get a wake up call once in a while.
