Broke my ankle

[Sand Dancer]

Hi, y'all. I broke my ankle last Wednesday and this is the first time I have sat in front of my computer. Hope everyone has had a great week! Going back to bed but will try to get on here again soon.

 

[Debater Slayer]

I hope you have a quick and smooth recovery!

 

[Guitar's Cry]

Hope it heals well!

 

[Viker]

Sending out healing vibes.

Ouch. Get well soon and back on your feet.

Oh how horrible. Have they got you in one of those boot things and hobbling about on crutches? I hope you don't live alone, so there is someone who can carry things for you. Without that, the logistics of even making a cup of tea can be appalling.

Did you break it dancing on sand?

Ouch!
Which bone(s)?
Clean break?

I've broken both in separate accidents.
Don't do a spiral fracture of the tibia.
It means surgery.
Breaking the only fibula is best.

That was a silly thing to do. Look after it and get back on your feet soon.

Hope you feel better soon!

Get well soon,sand dancing must be a perilous hobby.

Hope you get well quickly. I only faced a dislocation of a digit, left-hand forefinger (put it back myself). It remained swollen for decades.

I have a loooooong list of injuries over the years (almost entirely sports related).

But no broken ankles.

Hope yours heals quickly and cleanly.

Hope you get better... I know it is a process.

I had six screws in my ankle years ago... softball weekend-warrior accident. Visions of grandeur that were dashed as I slid into home base. I slid alright, right into a hospital bed.

How did it happen?

 

[Hockeycowboy]

Hope you heal quickly, and can control the pain!

 

[Mock Turtle]

Hope you get well soon. Anyone beat three broken ankles - clumsy oaf that I am?

 

[Aupmanyav]

It is a bit complicated there. Better to break a fibula like @Revoltingest said.

 

[Quagmire]

Ouch! Sorry to hear that, @Sand Dancer. Hope you get well soon.

 

[ADigitalArtist]

Speedy recovery!

I am in a boot. I am using a walker and wheelchair. I fell while using crutches so I don't feel secure with them. My husband and son help me. Hubby is on call this month, as well as taking some time off to help my MIL get settled near us, so he has been around. I have sure learned patience through this.
