a little set back
Firstly thank you everyone for all your comments i will take it on board and be sensible ( not rush).. Especially after this weekend when i fell on my face after slipping on a bit of water probably a sign to slow down. i didn’t hurt my injured foot just hit my toe and managed to put my leg up behind me as i fell HOWEVER i have noticed the bottom of my heel is sore I’m going to speak to the doctor as i can’t feel the plaster to be broken and i know i didn’t put weight on my foot as i fell but i’m not sure if this is how it feels after the stitches have been taken out/healing or if theres something rubbing any ideas gratefully received just feels a bit sore.
The reality of how long this all takes really has set in and quite frankly there is no ‘quick fix’ as much as i would love there to be, and you really can’t manage without the help of others. As much as i want to be independant its not a viable option as your balance, strength etc is not the same and crutches are only an aid on necessary journeys and you should only do what you have to instead of trying to keep up with everyone else. Its all about admitting that at this time your not as able to get around at the same pace as everyone and should not take any chances/risks…
My brother ruptured his achilles in a soccer match and he told he how he fell a couple times in restaurants. So, I’ve been on crutches since April 6th and I really heeded his warnings. For example, if I am walking in from outside…I look really silly but I spend several seconds on the rug trying to dry the bottom of my crutches. As you know…the slightest bit of water and you are like bambi on ice. This injury definitely makes you slow down. But, before you know it you’ll be in a boot bearing weight, then walking and dancing. Guess for whatever reason..all of us needed to slow down a little or something. Hang in there! As you know, we are temporarily disabled, and in no time we’ll be whole again.
