Yeah I broke my ankle very badly (it wasn't pointing the other way, but my foot and leg were "only connected by a skin sock" thanks for the lifelong nightmares doctor) and I was in hospital for 3 days waiting for the swelling to go down enough for surgery.
They put a heart monitor clip on my toe to keep an eye on my circulation and the... Not nurses but did some stuff? They kept stepping on the cable and yanking it ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
I hope you get surgery soon (the relief is quite astonishing although it's unfortunately only a relief compared to what's happening right now) and mend with no further trouble. DO. YOUR. PHYSIO. It sucks but it's magic.

The cold comfort is that nobody ever learns that lesson in a fun way! Or if you're me, ADHD stops you ever learning it apparently...

Reply to LPT: To heat yourself during the winter, have a hot water bottle on your legs while sitting down doing your work, it will conduct through the rest of your body and will heat you almost the same as a heater would do at a small fraction of the cost.

Polyester blankets (polar fleece etc) trap the heat from your body. Whether in bed or on the sofa, I recommend having one. My bed goes polyester fleece, duvet, heavy crocheted blanket to weigh it down.

And don't fill it to the top! Fill it to a bit below, then squeeze gently so the water reaches the bottom of the screw thread before screwing in the cap.

Yeah.
I got some physio on the NHS where I went to the hospital once or twice a week. The main thing is I did it every single day without fail, often twice a day, to restore range of motion etc as best I could. I was 6 weeks non weight bearing which didn't help.
I broke my leg end of 2016 so I don't have a physio any more but I still do the exercises when Legbert starts arsing around again.
