Eep. I am genuinely sorry to hear that, but for the sake of prickiality:

Your wankles still work though? That's going to be important in the, ahem, coming days.

They've got H.O.O.D and Cearta which are singles you can dine on for years - i'm wondering now that they have reached the eye of the storm, if they can come up with 2-3 more like that they are set for life.

HOOD is a class A banger

Was on holidays and out walking the dog after dinner and she was down a small short steep hill with wet grass. I was following her down but I hadn't released the adjustable leash and she pulled me faster than I got a chance to lift my leg. Slippy wet grass didn't help. Fell on my back. Heard a crack and watched my ankle go in a way it's not supposed to. Say up and punched my ankle back in. Hoping I'd just relocated a dislocated ankle or something.
Very cleverly left my phone with the missus
Hobbled back to the boat we rented. Spent most of the night in agony.
Xanax and solpadeine was a blessing
Was hoping it was only dislocated and/or sprained but it's full break. Nurses said I saved them some work by popping it back in to alignment .

6-8 weeks in the cast. Still hurts like fook. Never broke a bone before.
Technically broke my leg not my ankle -
Fibula, down near the ankle

Supposed to be starting a new job in a few weeks so I spose that's getting delayed

I was off work for almost 6 months when I broke my ankle. The days before working from home was a thing. Coming home pissed after a night out I thought I heard someone behind me as I approached my front door. I turned and stepped in a recessed drain and heard a snap and fell over.
I was wearing these stupid things so that might have been a contributing factor.

i won't be telling my wife this...
did you need surgery?

No. They put a heavy cast on it. My break was "inside", not at the side. I can't remember the term. It still hurts from time to time, but not too bad.

my wife broke hers in four places. and has a bunch of metal in there now too.

A friend of mine had a similar break recently. She was up and about in maybe three weeks with a big modern cast thing. She's older than you and probably less healthy. It took a little longer for her to get back to work, but she's a bartender who cycles everywhere.

Not that I'm saying you should rush anything of course. Don't get too down in the dumps about it.

I broke my foot in similar dog circumstances. You'll get the Boot, surprisingly helpful to get around in.

my broken ankle story:

The then laois minor goal keeper fell on my foot at a charity gig in the school played by up and coming local band mesner

I hobbled to the nurses office (being a former boarding school we had a 'matron' who largely handed out painkillers and lemsip). she was heading home, so a brother who was off active teaching as he apparently attacked a student with a hurl back in the 80s drove me into A+E in portlaoise, and left me at the door to hobble into reception by myself.

Where they patched me up in a cast, and told me to wait. After about an hour I limped out looking for someone (A+E was empty), and some nurse handed me cruthces, a referral card, and told me to go home.

simpler times...if it happened now the school would get sued for $$$$$$$

When I broke mine, I got one of those sports injury straps in the chemist. I walked aorund on it for a week. When I realised it wasn't getting any better, I went to A&E. They told me putting that strap on it was the worst thing I could have done.

 

[magicbastarder]

a chap i know broke his leg the day before his wedding; he was at the hotel where the reception was being held, thought he saw a rare orchid at the top of a bank beside the car park, and fell while trying to get to it.
