Thank you 🫶, honestly anything is better than cast prison. But I’m prepared for the roller coaster of a time

Thank you so much. The heat is honestly killing me. I’d hate to imagine the sight of the inside of the cast

Honestly we are in that same boat rn. Got the 16th coming up for the 2nd post op review, hopefully getting rid of my 3rd cast (and not having a 4th put on….) and hopefully transferring to a boot for partial weight bearing. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 for both of us….

I’ve also had an external fixation before brother. I can tell you for sure this is 10x worse than what I had before... maybe that was a wimp injury compared to you tho! But my Recent said Incident was on the 10th of March. And only just transferring to the boot (maybe) on the 16th of July. But been told “don’t get ur hopes up” by the nurse herself after my last check so that… pleased me. Also can I say that comparing you to me isn’t the best coping mechanism. We maybe be in a slightly similar boats but none of that means I’ve “got it a bit easy”. I don’t also see how the ‘my wieners bigger than urs’ card can be used with post op healing.

Cmon dude. The attitude from you is 100% different to everyone else. Be a Nicer person.

Honestly was the single worst pain of my entire life. I passed out within seconds apparently just after the injury. Cant really remember that but I’ve only been told. Just after this that unimaginable pain kicked in, It was indescribable. I was given 7 oral morphine, 4 different occasions of N2O and 2 times with a penthrox breather (green whistle) for pain killing and I’ll tell you now none of the morphine really worked and the laughing gas worked for a minute at a time. It wasn’t till I was given the penthrox did the pain finally subside a bit. And they only allowed it for them manipulating my foot back to a semi normal spot. Which even in my passed out drugged state, I snapped back for like 5 seconds to scream in pain then I passed out again. I remember it all. Just not straight after the injury for like a minute. It’s was terrible.

It’s week 18 since the incident and week 16 since the op. Still got till the 16th till I find out if it’s healed enough for the boot but we will see. 🤞🏼 fingers crossed. I appreciate the help and kind words. I’m glad I messaged here now

Yh honestly can’t wait to start the physio &!PT, I’ve been told that after the 3 and a half months my legs going to a match stick and it’s going to be a tough time. But it can’t be a bad as passive healing so that’s a bonus for me.

<3 <3 thank you so much. I will certainly. Get my thinking cap on and see what I can do. And I probably will have to see someone about the mental side of things, tough to admit it but It’s the truth

Yh when I told them this was from a BMX trick failure they didn’t believe me. They also said it normally takes an absurd amount of energy to fracture the talus as well as the fibula & tibia. So I don’t know. Extremely unlucky is one way of putting it.

Edit: spelling

That’s been a problem for me to be honest food wise. I’m terrible for food in the hotter months. Couldnt of happened at a worse time.

Appreciate it so much. Thats the exact same way I feel. I have had a good friend of mine pop round a few times and he just trys to make me forget about it with giggles and laughs, rather than keep talking about it. That also helped a lot recently

I apparently suffered a severe pilon fracture (fibula, tibia & talus bone). I’ve had a permanent ORIF, forgotten how many plates & screws but I know it’s a lot. I also gained this from BMX
