21st April
Tomorrow will be 4 weeks since I broke my ankle. Inconvenience would be the key word at the minute. There's not a lot of pain associated with the injury, but it's a pain having the cast on. I can now walk a little although it's not an elegant sight and since the great car incident of last week I am being encouraged to drive myself about. We are still down at the coast house and I am still deep into my project of scanning in old negatives and slides....I'm really pleased to have the opportunity to do this. We will be going back to sydney on wednesday. John has some work on thursday and I have a job that i can do as well. We will then asses the situation and decide when to return down here. We have invited a group of friends down for the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd of may and we want to back down before then.
I plan to get my ankle x-rayed at 5 weeks and if the bones have knotted, I will get my Physiotherapist to remove the cast and give me some therapy at 6 weeks. I dont want to rush things as I'm sure that initially, once the cast comes off I will not be as mobile as i am now.
This period will be the longest period of enforced inactivity that I have ever endured......I am surprised at how I have become used to it.
