Posted , 1 user is following.

hello, i broke my ankle 2 weeks ago today 13.02.2021. I slipped on the ice and obviously i was trying to save my stomach(baby) i went one way and my leg went the other. i felt the snap.I broke both sides of my ankle and my fibula. I had to wait 6 days for the swelling to go down. I had surgery on the 19.02.2021 so today is 8 days post surgery.. I came home monday 22.02.2021 Ive really struggled this week, mentally and physically. I live in a small 2 bedroom house so im upstairs living for the time being. I have a 7 year old boy and also 23 weeks pregnant. Ive read some posts on here which were positive and does give me hope. Im hoping that im going to be back on my feet for when the baby is here. Im very impatient and im getting frustrated with all the things i cant do. One plus is that im off the hard pain relief during the day and only taking 1 on a night to help with sleep. Thought id just put this out there in the hope someone comes back with a similar experience.
