Hi Folks. Haven't been on the forum for ages. Had difficulty signing in.

Some of you may know via Facebook that I had the metal taken out of my right ankle
in December.

Well about 8 days ago I caught my right big toe coming in from garage to kitchen. Thought
nothing more about it (as one does). Then last Tues/Wed started to get a slight pain
up the front of the leg which continued to get more and more painful. By the time Monday came
when the district nurse called to dress my ulcer I wouldn't put my foot down. (Plus the tears!)
She got my GP to call who duly sent me to A & E, was x-rayed and was found to have a
pathalogical fracture of the tibia. Home yesterday afrter spending 4 days in hosp. Now on elbo crutches and moonboot.

I hope you are all feeling o.k. and that you haven't been too achey in the cold spell.

Love and take care
Marlene xx

P.S. I am still the oldie Marlene1 but have been given a new users name as mentioned above
lots of probs logging in.

hI Marlene,
Good to see you back on here but so sorry to hear about your leg!
Hope you can get lots of rest so you feel better soon.

Love and hugs,
Doreen xx

Hi Marlene, dont think we've met, but so sorry about your toe!! it must be so painful, I hope it feels better soon, and you can master the crutches!! I think I'd be useless and probably fall over! Take care x

Oh poor you Marlene, so sad and sorry to hear this.

Much love,

Amanda

Hi folks

Many thanks for your kind wishes. I am quite an expert with the crutches having had so many leg/ankle ops.

Lovely to hear from you Kathleen.
No I wasn't at Freeman this time. My GP sent me to the General Hospital as Freeman don't have an A & E Dept. but I wish they did. Don't like the General.

Yes I am still getting the ulcer dressed. Mr Siddique who took out the metal work in my ankle just before Christmas
thinks I should be referred to the vascular team at the Freeman but it will now have to wait until the fracture heals.

Hope your aches and pains are not too bad.

Love
Marlene xx
