Ankle update #2

Sep 14, 2004 08:58

I've managed to chip a small bit off the bottom of my fibula... Great. Nothing they can do. I just need RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. If it doesn't get better by next week, I have to go back. That took A&E an amazingly quick 3 and a half hours to decide and bizarrely enough, everyone in A&E had hurt their ankles ( Read more... )

Keep your foot up on a packet of frozen peas, girl!

Or if you must go Maelstrom-ing, fix up a medieval-looking wheelchair and play your character as a LARP Oracle...

...sorry, nerdy comics reference there.

I work in a dance company so we have the latest up to date 'peas'!! I think it may be a little short notice for the LRP wheelchair!!

"the latest up to date 'peas'!"

Mangetout? Surely not... sugar snap?

Be careful with that ankle Sarah, and if it comes down to it skip Maelstrom so that you will be able to wakl cast-free over the next few months and won't require surgery to fix a problem that has got worse :S

... as for the RICE, how about getting some chicken tikka korma to go with it? :D

They said they wouldn't do surgery. It's very a very small chip and it'll heal itself. Walking and using it will just make it mroe painful, so it's in my best interests so rest!

Mmm chicken korma

They 'said' they wouldn't do surgery at the moment, however what happens if you re-injure (or make the injury worse) when at LRP ... and THAT results in surgery being required?

Better safe than sorry dear, so stay off that foot for a while.

... and chicken korma is the new chicken and honey apres-Phoenix don't ya know ;o)

Don't even think about going LARPing unless you have bearers.

Ankle/foot injuries can be really nasty long term if not sufficiently rested and healed.

This is about the 4th time I've done this ankle in, but the only time I've actually done anything kinda serious... I have ankle experience!!
