    I can't believe it happened. I'm still shocked. Just as my ankle was almost back to normal too :( Everything hurts, my head, back, hands, my broken leg plus my ex broken ankle is swollen :( Everything's been checked over or X rayed so nothing else damaged thankfully.

    Oh no SA how awful, poor you :(. Just before Christmas too :(. I'm glad it wasn't any worse though as you could have been killed. Are you still in hospital or are you at home now?

    I’m at home but have to go back Monday. I’m hoping they’ll give me a cast I can walk in as the bone I’ve broken is non weight bearing.

    Mr SA has done nothing but wonder about his dinner!

    I’ve had some beautiful flowers from work :)
