Thread Name: BS: Being Plastered! (below the knee!)
Subject: BS: Being Plastered! (below the knee!)
Well what a start to 2007! everything was going so well, I crouched down to put some more paper in the printer under my desk and pop! Searing pain and inability to walk! I am now plastered from the knee down, I have a partial rupture of my achilles tendon and am likely to be immobile for about 6 weeks minimum! For the first 2 weeks I am plastered with my toes down and am not allowed to weight bear. My other leg is already complaining at taking all the weight, I know I am supposed to be resting but a girl needs a certain amount of mobility! I am doing stairs on my bum and think a chair on wheels - like an office chair may be an easier way to get round the house than crutches - anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers, Lucy
