In case my B12 deficiency was not enough, I raised the bar on Friday, by several yards… My left ankle is broken, the one in my good leg, that now it’s the worse leg.
I still have shots, although now I am getting anticoagulants (heparin) instead of B12, and this time they are daily shots in my belly. I am having B12 in sublingual tablets and hope for the miracle of being fine when the cast comes off.
Call it virtuosity or whatever you like, but I also managed to break my ankle by myself, at home, without taking any impulse, without jumping, without falling from a height. I was standing next to the door, ready to step out. I took a step back to swing the door open, lost my grasp of the handle, lost my balance, fell and landed on my leg.
Good thing is that they didn’t have to manipulate my fracture, because it was totally clean, without displacement. So they got it into a cast and that’s it!
Six weeks of full rest (I sleep a lot, until I get fed up of sleeping): I am resting, I am watching “The West Wing” again (almost done with the 5th season) and I am back to reading again… After all, every cloud has a silver lining…

Hi there sorry to hear about your foot I recently fractured mine as well and in a cast but not plaster I have fiberglass which is much lighter and more breathable. My doctor said they don’t use plaster,I guess she was wrong. Anyway how are you feeling?Hows the swelling?Feel free to email me,David.

Many countries use plaster. Personally, I prefer it: less waste. :) I am fine, the swelling is practically long gone… I am just bored! :)

Sorry! I thought I had answered, but the server must have been down at the time. I am from Spain, and plaster is quite common around here. My cast will come off on the 24th! :)
