Today, I had my first physio I turned up in my wheelchair, since I am not yet confident to use my crutches outside. I had a very helpful Physio, who like most people looked shocked when they realised I broke both ankles.
I think my most embarrassing moment was when he said, "ok let's check these ankles out" and I try to remove the three pairs of socks from my left foot, yep threne, well it was a cold day and my toes do get cold. When I finally manged to get them off, I could not believe what happened next. It was like a snow storm.
All the dry skin which I have been trying to remove suddenly decides to make a quick exit. "Oh great" I say " that's so attractive"
"Oh don't worry about that, I have seen much worse" says Physio guy, what I think, how worse can it get.
But, he did an amazing job in getting me to walk again, with ease. I am now able to walk with my new crutches, it has given me such a sense of achievement. I am not going to say it was easy, because trust me it was very painful. Now I don't do pain, I have a very low threshold and must admit I am a bit of a wimp. So when I got home, I confess I took two codeine...big mistake. My words became slurred and I slumped on the sofa and stayed there all afternoon and night..
Mental note to self, stick to paracetamol
