Less of the whining...
Apr. 18th, 2008 11:16 amDoctor's went quite well.
Went in, said OW, ANKLE, WRONG!
He checked notes and said "but the hospital said it was FINE and not painful", which rather surprised me since the last conversation I had with the consultant revolved around how it WAS still painful and the whole 'nerve damage' thing.
Then he checked ankle, which was helpfully all seized up. I tried to move it, no joy. HE tried to move it, still nothing. So he said "Hmm. No. That's not quite right." and is referring me to Musgrave for MOAR PHYSIO. Hurrah!
After that, I went and got on the horse. Walking walking fine. Decided to be Brave and attempt rising trot. This did not result in sudden PAIN so did some more. And a bit more. Aaaand a bit more. Then it did start being achy, so got off. Then it REALLY got sore.
But on the plus side, trotting (not necessarily correctly, weight in toes, not ankle, but still ;p), YAY!
Went home, took painkillers, went to Pilates, which was awkward cos ankle had now totally seized up again, so had to skip a few of the exercises. It did finally loosen up toward the end tho, which was a relief. Then home, mud, hot bath and bed before midnight - what a healthsome life!
This afternoon is the turn of the osteopath. Which is great because after yesterday, just about everything is on the stiff and achy side. Hmm back-cracking goodness.
Then home this evening for Family Fun Time and Cake, hurrah!
Ooh and Archaeology Conference Saturday (ie. huge piss-up sat. night) - are you or any of your minions attending![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
_unhurt_?
Anyone got any wildly exciting plans for the weekend? Plans that do NOT including milking in any way, shape or form?
ETA Back from osteo! back all nicely cracked into place. Also,thesme_01 you will be very gratified to hear she basically said exactly what you did - that its' probably too early in the whole healing process to put ankle under the extra pressure of the heel lift, and it might be best to abandon it for a while.
