Hello people i just thought i would share my news. Yesterday around 4pm my left ankle gave way on me, so i tried to save myself and then my right ankle decided it would join in the party............
I heard a crack and fell to the ground like a tonne of bricks (i am a heavy girl mind) and let out a scream. People flocked round me so i got kinda embarrassed at that but thankfully a man called an ambulance for me and made sure my car was locked up before leaving me in the kind hands of a lady and her daughter. She calmed me down and the ambulance arrived soon after.
I was taken to St Johns hospital in livingston and diagnosed with a broken fibula. I am now in plaster cast for 6 weeks. I have to go to the plaster room today to get a better cast on as they just did a half slab cast yesterday to stabilise the leg.
I am in lots of pain but will take plenty pain meds over the duration of christmas...
Have a great christmas everyone and please be careful out there
