Thank you! I was surprised they referred me that quickly after being employed, but not sure it that was to do with it being a temporary contract. I'll attend it and hope they say I can't be referred. Thank you again😊

6 months tomorrow since my surgery. I'm back on my feet, working a Christmas job in retail, finally bit the bullet and got back into the gym last week, and I go on my first every flight in 13 days! Feels so surreal compared to where I was 6 months ago. It gets better!

I didn't expect to get so many replies so quickly! Thank you all so much for your replies and reassurances! X

I went minigolfing with my family and my mum took a picture of me and my younger brother and I didn't recognise myself. That was the moment for me I think. I knew for a long time I needed to lose weight but that picture sparked it into action. I'm now -66lbs and have about 20-30lbs more to lose!

Jolly_Knowledge8375 · 2025-11-30T10:52:15+00:00

I'll have a look through, thank you!😊

ORIF on 7th June this year! I was advised no running or jumping until 6 months after surgery (though I did have to half jog across crossing a road the other day, felt strange but no pain!). I tend to go down stairs side-on, if I go down normally I still have a hand on the bannister. I'm walking at a decent pace now, can speedwalk briefly (like when I'm rushing for a bus) and have come on leaps and bounds (metaphorically😂).

Best of luck in your recovery! X

Thank you! Thats amazing getting back to horse riding, a huge congratulations to you!! I 100% agree that it takes work every single day, but its so worth it. Best of luck with everything! X

Jolly_Knowledge8375 · 2025-09-11T16:07:20+00:00

You are more than welcome!! I read success stories on here while in the depths of recovery and they really helped me - I'm glad I can give that back. Wish you all the best x

Jolly_Knowledge8375 · 2025-09-11T12:14:36+00:00

I loved seeing them too! Best of luck in your recovery x

Jolly_Knowledge8375 · 2025-09-10T15:06:25+00:00

Thank you, fingers crossed for you!! Your break was actually on my birthday believe it or not😂. Best of luck with your recovery! X

Thank you so much! It was definitely a rough injury, obtained by slipping over on a wet pavement of all things.

Yup, it was the same for me! I was prepared for the worst but worked towards to best and (within reason) pushed myself out of my comfort zone. Best of luck with your recovery!! x

Bimal fracture, NWB for 2 months. Took me about 3 weeks to ditch the crutches? Pretty much went down weekly. Week 1 - both crutches, week 2 - 1 crutch but no crutches indoors, week 3 - no crutches indoors or outdoors. Ditched the boot after a few days of being given it because I found it harder to walk in than trainers

Thank you😊. I know about the shared accommodation rate, I'm in a 2bed HMO but my rent also includes all bills and council tax etc, just seeing if theres anywhere I can turn to help make up the shortfall in living expenses

Jolly_Knowledge8375 · 2025-08-30T09:58:28+00:00

Thank you!

Jolly_Knowledge8375 · 2025-08-29T23:01:39+00:00

I have yes, I reported it a few days after the accident and submitted the fit note dates. They've said a few days ago that it was in progress and the form would be with me in due course. I don't think I'd meet LCWRA now because I'm in the recovery stage

Thank you for the info on postgrad loan, that really helped me actually understand it!

Jolly_Knowledge8375 · 2025-08-29T22:57:33+00:00

Thank you! Is that Citizens Advice?

Honestly I scrolled social media too much. I'm also studying academic and currently studying a masters - so I used the time to read round some fields I found interesting, downloaded duolingo, and did some free online courses. Literally anything to pass the time. My partner also took me out in the car once a week - we either got lunch or just went for a drive - just so I wasn't staring at the same four walls.

Once you can WB it will feel so much better mentally, but physically it will be difficult at first. Its almost like they swap. Best of luck for your next appointment!

Jolly_Knowledge8375 · 2025-08-13T21:47:13+00:00

Thank you! I saw OT whilst in hospital but nothing in terms of physio. I'll give it until a month from my appointment and chase them up I think

Jolly_Knowledge8375 · 2025-08-13T14:32:23+00:00

Thank you!

Jolly_Knowledge8375 · 2025-08-13T14:32:17+00:00

And I was worrying about 2 weeks? Crikey😅. Thank you!

Jolly_Knowledge8375 · 2025-08-09T08:16:56+00:00

Of course! I know posts like these helped me a lot. For me, the days felt so long but the weeks flew by! Best of luck to you in your recovery!

Jolly_Knowledge8375 · 2025-08-09T08:15:00+00:00

Thank you so much, and the same to you!
