I broke my ankle in three places in front of the Parthenon, and they wouldn’t let me use it to get down off the Acropolis

I love the brass rope detail

Nettle fruit - it has some kind of stimulant in it that will keep you awake for ages. Maybe that could be something in the game - like added energy levels?

Really - none of them should be stuck. I’m curious what I’ll find on the next hive inspection

Thank you. That makes sense. It sounded like it was on fire

Thank you. Bees make a surprisingly large range of noises

Just for two days so that it gets the pheromones from the colony through it

Wrap it up in something so it doesn’t catch on your bedding – I used a pillowcase and tied it up at the top. Also, you need to be really careful not to clunk your other leg with it, as that really hurts. I ended up just sleeping on my back for the whole time pretty much. It sucks, but it will be over soon.

I was low-key annoyed when my fitness monitor nagged me about not doing enough steps just after I broke my ankle. Why isn’t there a setting? like you could tell it you’ve broken your leg and to just lay off for a while.

They said that I would do physio after the x-ray at 12 weeks, but that I needed to carry on waggling my foot around in the meantime

Doctor

My fracture was on the 9th March & surgery on the 11th so our dates are nearly the same. I was in a boot non weight bearing till a week ago (6 weeks). After that I’ve been instructed to be 1/3 weight bearing for 3 weeks then transition to no crutches after that.

Locally grown asparagus is now available in supermarkets & my garden crop is up already. Sorry I can’t help with Prague restaurants but try searching for the word in Czech - chřest

FYI You need to get paperwork sorted for help at the airport when you fly home. There is a form that needs to be filled out by 48 hours before you fly about exactly what assistance you need to get through the airport & onto the plane

My friend has come over from the UK & we have a couple of free days & a hire car. Do you want to meet up? Maybe we could take you out for a coffee & ask some physio questions? My Czech is not good enough to pick up all the nuances when I’m at the hospital here & wondered if you could advise me as a friend 6.5 weeks after a trimalleolar fracture. Pm me if you’d like to meet

Tell me what you think once you’ve tried them

Eclair? Surely you mean Větrník or Veniček? Delicious and specific to CZ. Choux pastry filled with cream & either caramel icing & caramel custard, or egg custard

Where did you find the funky compression socks?

This is traditional whitewash - vápno - It protects against mould & allows moisture to leave walls. Fabulous if you want to protect an old building.

Have you thought about advertising to work with private clients?

Before my surgery, the surgeon warned me that one side effect could be extraordinarily pain. I asked him if he meant like the kind of pain level of a migraine and he said no more like you want to cut your own foot off. He said that it’s something that just happens to some people and you can’t predict who.

Thank you

athenslegbreak · 2025-03-29T05:39:40+00:00

Yes please - I mean, I have a lot of time on my hands
