Returned to work today for a few hours.
I am the Manager of an Aboriginal Aged Care facility, so i have the benefit of sitting at my desk doing paper work for awhile instead of walking around making sure things are running smoothly. I have a good team behind which is allowing me to work from home and only do as much as i can at work in a few hours.
I have been bus getting ready for an annual general meeting so i have been giving everyone orders on what has to be done.
My mum and neice came home from interstate to help with me with housework and my daughter as my partner works shift work - just company i suppose at home while he is at work.

Seen the specialist… yes have to have surgery… yipee - joke…….
Slipped over tonight and put all my weight on my leg. yoweeeeeeee i was alright until i tried to sleep. i hadn’t had much pain until now….
Only way i could sleep was to have my lef up on 3-4 pillows and with more pillows behind my back looked ugly but felt great…….

Had ultra sound today and it confirm that i had a ATR, the fellow (dont know the technical term) who does them showed me what was left in the back of my left ankle - a big black hole of nothing.
I have definately made the decision that i will no longer be playing netball anymore, i have already had a right ankle reconstruction and this ATR has definately confirmed in my mind that this is it. also my partner has already had his say, he had to look after me with my reco so i think he has had enough of my injuries to.
Await my appt with specialist tomorrow…

Oh no!!!!. I was 1 minute away from half time in my normal competition game of netball, i went to change direction and heard a pop (like a balloon popping) and a pain in the back of my calf (like being kicked) and i knew straight away what i had done………ATR
Went to the A & E (emergency dept at hospital) Dr peformed the Thompson Test (pinching back of calve) told me what i already knew that i had probably rupture the achilles tendon.
He put on a back slab to immobilse / NWB / crutches and referrals for U/S and some pain killers and off i went home.
