Well first day back today!, always good to be driven in on a grey and wet Monday morning. Feel quite anxious about this, chiefly the thought of all the pile up of work since i’ve been off and also anxiety about managing to be patient with people and cope with examinations and mobility etc. All normal i guess. Still get some significant ache and occaisonal swelling when i’ve done too much. Quite glad really to be out of the house for a day at last, was about to develop cabin fever. Really busy week looming and all the transport problems with taxis etc. Partners at workfairly sympathetic but an undercurrent of resentment perhaps, they’ve been working a lot extra, and have clearly been stretched without me. Anyway have my Orthop appointment on Friday and hopefully cast off and walking boot on, that will help!. Must eat better as getting fatter with little exercise of course. Anyway regards to all fellow sufferers, always nice to see those reports of good progress, and to those who aren’t yet, hang in there.
Morning Doctor,
Hope you eased yourself in gradully. Isn’t it great to get back to doing our normal routine. Hope the other doctors in practice and being considerate!!
Will you be able to exert your influence to get a boot, I was never given the option 9/10 weeks in cast no variance!
Anyway, good luck

Thanks Annie, Guess the boot issue depends on the individual injury, my Orthopod thinks 2 weeks POP then boot for uncomplicated repairs low down.Going on Friday, fingers crossed getting mighty fed up of the pot!!
Hope you’re doing well
Best wishes Mark
