These are the photos I was gonna post last month from the Edinburgh Christmas Market. Thanks for your lovely comments yesterday. And the update is fairly good regarding my relationship, my partner came back today. We had a long talk and managed to sort things out. My daughter is very happy at this.
I'd like to thank everyone for your lovely comments and thanks to the few people who emailed me too.
Since my last post I have had a further surgery. Something called ORIF which stands for Open reduction and internal fixation. I was unconscious for this operation and it lasted for just over 7 hours. I didn't do very well and they monitored me for 2 days. By the second day my vitals were stable and I saw the Doctor and physiotherapy. As my health got better they decided it was time to discharge me. I left the hospital on 4th of December. I could not walk and had to hobble with a zimmer. The hospital gave me some other aids for the house, but not many. They said I didn't need calcium, but I decided to order it anyway as calcium is essential for bones and I am dairy free. I struggled the first few days and then my partner decided to walk out on me and my daughter. More heartbreak. I honestly couldn't believe it. He said he would help where he can and we are trying to work things out just now. I am hopeful.
I've had a few appointments at the hospital, an ambulance has had to take me as I cannot get out my house due to stairs. The doctor showed me the xray and it turns out I have several plates and at least 19 screws in my ankle and leg. I am sick and tired of nurses, doctors and specialists telling me how serious and traumatic my injury is. At one of my appointments they removed the cast and I am wearing a moon boot now, which isn't at all comfortable. I cannot put any weight on my left leg. So hopping about on my right is tiring.
I have another appointment in the middle of January. I am hoping for good news that I can put weight on the ankle and learn to walk again.
Between my injury and partner, this has been the worst Christmas I have ever had. I still cannot walk and need the zimmer and crutches.
I have lots of photos so will get back to posting. My Blogging hope for this year was to post ever day, which I didn't manage, so I am hoping for that for 2026 and a good recovery too.
If anyone has had a similar injury advice is welcome and hope too. Thanks everyone.
