It's five, almost six months now since I did the awful deed. I had a couple of infections, treated well, at a great cost to me. I'm mostly walking well, with a fair bit of a limp, as long as I don't try to go too far.
Have found that I've had a nerve injury problem - injured that with the accident.
Spoke with both the specialist and my own doctor.
It may heal over time, but then again it may not.
At the moment, I can can hardly bear to have the sheets on my bed sitting/rubbing on my ankle/leg.
I've had to choose and buy shoes that are cut down real low.
Can only wear the softest of socks, like bed-socks for everyday use. Anything else causes irritation and soreness.
Now I think a pin may be coming out - I can feel a lump, and the skin has erupted into what looks like a small ulcer. The specialist told me that might happen and that he could remove it. But it could mean that I need to go back into plaster while the bone repairs.
I'm just so much over this injury.
