Bandages Off
My day:
Bandages off
Had a bath!
Painkillers are good!
Still really bruised and not walked on it fully yet but definitely more movement in my ankle.

Hospital Appt – ankle
Hospital appointment for my ankle – Over 2hrs and still waiting to be seen! If they don’t hurry I’ll miss my opera insight!
Yay I’ve escaped. For now. Even saw a Dr who’d read my file! MRI ordered and back in 8 weeks. Ankle splint some days and moonboot for others. Must have been the antigravity thingy.
Physio Appt
Physio this morning was a session on an anti-gravity treadmill. Take that Tim Peake!!
Physio
Wasn’t sure if I should laugh or weep this morning. The physiotherapist was able to give me the results of the MRI that was urgently requested on my ankle and the bone chap I saw a few weeks ago didn’t seem to have been able to! Oh and she also confirmed they’d lost my x-ray! Anyway, joyful news was not only multiple fractures but also extensive damage to soft tissue throughout the ankle… so much so she’s referring back to the bone team before giving me physio! Maybe some hydrotherapy next week if the bone team say it’s OK! I guess it’s progress… Now to track down that x-ray so that both that and the MRI can be sent to my soft tissue sarcoma cancer consultant, as he’s requested!
Always appreciate your parents
We spend so much time growing up we forget they are growing old.

Fracture clinic
Fracture clinic appointment. Let’s see what the MRI revealed.
Phew no plaster and no operation. It’s hard enough do anything in moon boot and crutches!
But MRI just showed extensive damage to ligaments and a couple of small fractures. So I’m staying in moonboot/crutches for another 6 weeks then lots of physio and hopefully will heal… No tennis this year for me
Results
Results time for my 6 monthly scans. If there’s nothing to report, they say I may go to annual checks!!!
UPDATE
No Evidence of Disease again… Finally I‘m on annual checks! AND my fave consultant made sure he saw me to give me the good news… AND now he’s head of the sarcoma unit here, he’s writing something for our Phyllodes Support Group AND he suggested I get my MRI and X-ray for my odd ankle to him to review. Hurrah!! Calls for bubbles and opera!
