Will be off work for at least two months, so i thought i would document my life during recovery because i have so much free time at home lol. And also for those who might be in the same position as me who wants some insight and what to expect during recovery! The first two weeks were defs the hardest, pain wise and mentally. I would be lying if i didn’t say i was crying almost everyday. Pain would always range from 7-10 out of 10. I could see why i was in so much pain, i had broken my tibia, fibula as well has head of talus 🥲. I was regularly rotating between endone and morphine every 3 hours. Being bed bound and losing your independence really sucks. That meant bed baths, bed pans, and sore back. Couldn’t have surgery until day 10 due to swelling, and due to my extent of my fracture, pain and inability to mobilise i had to stay in hospital until then. It became very boring, i had things to do to keep myself entertained but the strong pain killers would have me feeling too drowsy to do them. But i am so grateful for my friends and family who came to visit me and keep me sane! #brokenankle#orif#anklesurgery#recovery#oztag#fyp#foryoupage
