Chardy Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I feel your pain having only got my cast off my ankle last week after 7 weeks -fractured tibia. The only good thing is we haven't yet had to move to our temporary rental yet as the house sale is taking forever ! Just keep it elevated as much as possible - I struggled with 3 kids in the house - but I really appreciate being able to stand on 2 feet again ! Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish you a speedy recovery, eat lots of protein, avoid cola and don't smoke xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz H Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Sorry to hear that Mary, try not to worry too much I know it probably doesn't seem like it but it's another bump in the road. Keep your chin up no matter what and you'll be there in no time, good luck and get well soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
