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.
Dear Ananka, bless your heart ❤️ 💙 Another surgery and a long one.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, calcium is a must for bones and teeth.
I wish you good health and a speedy recovery 🙏
I look forward to seeing your posts and photos but only when you feel ready. Sending you warm hugs 🫂 🤗 and much love.
Thanks Linda :-D
DeleteOh my goodness ... I am sorry to read what you have been going through ... as if your injury wasn't bad enough!!!

You are going to need patience in the coming weeks and allow time for healing ... but I know ALL of your blogging friends will be wishing you well.
Saying a prayer for you 🙏
Also sending a big hug 🤗

Thanks Jan. It's been a terrible time for me :-( Much appreciated :-D
DeleteAnother operation lasting several hours, you're so brave. Taking calcium is a good idea of yours.
ReplyDeleteYou've been through a lot this Christmas. Sending you a hug.
Thanks so much Andrea :-D
Delete...Ananka, it saddens me to read this and I hope the healing is smooth for you. Your "partner" doesn't sound like the one for you, you deserve much better! Be strong and well.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a nightmare Tom, I really hope things are sorted with us. Thanks, I will try :-D
DeleteOuch! You sure did it up right and I can't imagine all you have been going through. Here's to 2026, healing and blogging with friends. Big but gentle hugs from all of us.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Terry :-D
DeleteA truly awful end to the year, Ananka. Broken relationships are difficult at the best of times, but to have it happen so abruptly at a time when you are struggling, is especially difficult. 2026 can only be better.
ReplyDeleteSure is David :-( I am hoping we can sort it out. Thanks I really hope 2026 will be a good one :-D
DeleteMy dear Ananka, it's so hard for me to read your post. I'm especially saddened to learn of your boyfriend's betrayal. You especially need the help of your loved ones right now. How do you cope without your parents, without the help of your beloved man? Your daughter, Ailith, is still very young and needs your care.
ReplyDeleteI hope there are people in Scotland who can help you.
Thanks Irina. We talked and he decided to come back today. Ailith is well looked after and loved by us all. I just hope it works out. I have no one else that can help me :-(
DeleteUy nena ojala mejores, toma tambien colágeno con calcio eso te a de ayudar. Si puedes conseguir chochos o como le dicen en España atramuz es una leguminosa que tiene mucho calcio. Se le llama la soya andina Te mando un beso y todo mi cariño.
ReplyDeleteI will look into that. Thanks for your advice :-D
DeleteSad to read about the terrible ending of 2025 for you. Take care, now things can only get better. Best wishes for 2026.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping thing get better. Thanks so much :-D
DeleteYour partner sounds like he was spooked by your injury. May you part of your recovery include finding a much worthier partner.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping the new him will be that partner. Thanks Kirk :-D
DeleteThis takes me by surprise, I hope you recover soon and can achieve your goal of blogging more often. This year has been really intense, I'm sending you good energy.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Rebeca, I need this good energy :-D
DeleteI wish you a speedy recovery. It's unbelievable, it's been a while since I visited you and now I'm hearing the news. A cousin of mine had suffered a very serious injury to both ankles, things were very difficult for him, the prognosis was grim.Now she is really perfect, as if she had not had the accident. I am sure that you will do very well, you are a dynamic person. Everything will be fine, have confidence in your body and mind, I am sure that they will respond perfectly. May the new year be full of health , Love, Joy and Creativity!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your encouragement. I need all I can get. All the best for the new year :-D
DeleteSiento mucho que hayas pasado por la cirugía y todo eso, espero de verdad que te mejores y te sientas muy bien pronto.
ReplyDeleteDeseo que tu 2026 sea bueno, tranquilo y que estés recuperada.

DeleteI'm so sorry--- Nobody seems very happy this year, but you have more than your share of issues. I have no advice, but I do send you hugs and hopes for a speedy recovery from ALL.♥
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Bill, I appreciate that :-D
DeleteWow, I get depressed just by reading about all your health and family issues. Now you really need more cake. My brother had an accident a few months ago and he was stuck in his apartment for quite a long time. But he is better now, and have been out walking again, although slowly, and hopefully so will you.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that Stefan, I do really need that cake more now than ever! Thanks for the encouragement about your brother. I hope that will be me soon :-D
DeleteThank you for sharing this so honestly. I am very sorry for all you have endured, and I hope that the coming weeks bring both steady physical healing and the personal support you deserve, with real progress at your January appointment.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope so. I am so nervous what they will say about my healing. Thanks :-D
DeleteOlá minha querida amiga Ananka. Desejo recuperação total da sua saúde. Breve você retornará a postar fotos no seu Blogger. Sua saúde vem em primeiro lugar. Grande abraço do seu amigo brasileiro.
ReplyDeleteThanks Luiz, I appreciate that. Blogging will take my mind of things :-D
DeleteAnanka espero que você tenha boas notícias em Janeiro, desejo um Feliz Ano novo bjs.

DeleteHow difficult for you. Sending you love, prayers, and wishes for healing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judee :-D
DeleteMany prayers and positive thoughts sending your way. I hope you get through this and it makes you stronger for the best year ever.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping so. Thanks Ellie :-D
DeleteSo sorry to hear what you have been through, Ananka...I still can't believe that your partner chose this time when you are so in need of help to leave...that's not a man that you should spend your life with..good riddance.
ReplyDeleteIt really isn't, but we are working things out just now. At my time of need and at Christmas! Not good :-(
DeleteSo glad to hear from you Ananka! Stay strong with your daughter. Things happen for a reason.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, you are so right. My daughter is well and happy :-D
DeleteOh no! Great to hear from you! The recovery has started. Your mood and condition are improving little by little. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI really hope I am on the road to recovery. Ups and downs along the way. Thanks :-D

ReplyDeleteI really hope so too Mary. Thanks :-D
DeleteOh no, you have been through it haven't you? I am so sorry about all of this Ananka. I read your latest post and keeping my fingers crossed for you. I'm hoping upon hope that all will be well and that 2026 will send you the absolute best to you. Happy New Year my love. Sending a big hug xox
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise, much appreciated :-D
DeleteWhat a nighmare for you. So sorry to read about this but I do hope that the new year will bring you much favourable news. I wish you a very happy and healthy 2026.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. I really hope so too. Thanks :-D
DeleteOh my goodness. I am so sorry for what you have been through over the last little while. You deserve so much better. You deserve good health and all of the support in the world. I know that there is nothing I can do to take away your pain (physical and otherwise) but I hope you know that there are all sorts of people out there rooting for you and wishing you well. I hope 2026 will be so much kinder to you.
ReplyDeleteIt has been horrible honest Shannon. I really hope so too and that 2026 will be good for us all :-D Thanks for your lovely comment :-D
Deletequando la sfortuna si accanisce...
ReplyDeletemi spiace moltissimo !!!!
pensa solo che la ferita alla gamba guarirà...
e che forse il dolore più grande è stato l'abbandono del tuo partner, proprio sotto le feste natalizie... non è una cosa bella, non so perchè
proprio in questo memento che dovrebbe essere di festa... ha voluto aggiungere dolore a dolore.
Non si fa così.
Posso solo mandarti un grande saluto ed un abbraccio forte dall'Italia, e se potessi ti preparerei un piatto di pasta aglio olio e peperoncino.
ti rasserena di sicuro.
P.S. vacci piano col calcio, non è una buona cosa per il cuore.
baci. Stefano.
It has been very hard. Thanks so much. The pasta sounds wonderful, I'll have some :-D
DeleteOh no, that sounds awful. Quite a long time to be under too, sending healing thoughts your way.
ReplyDeleteYes it was jeez not a great experience. Thanks I need them :-D
