It has been a week now and I am no longer wearing a splint although I do find the crutches
helpful in moving around. Looking back, I wonder just how much of my twist and
turn was due to my limited sight in judging the height of the fence I was
attempting to negotiate and how much was due to poor balance and just bad luck.
I am always careful on steps and stairs so one would think that I would also
pay more attention when it comes to clambering over fences. I guess that the
lesson must be, Live and Learn!
It is a few days since I began to write this post and my
initial assessment might have been a bit optimistic. I have now been to the
doctor and physiotherapist. Apparently I can expect to be hobbling around for
another few weeks yet. However, I will need to wear a knee brace instead of the
full leg splint I am wearing in the following picture.
In the picture I am standing with my crutches. I have a
mid-thigh to ankle splint on my left leg.
