#leg break

[of-wounds-and-woes]

Only Bruno Gagliasso can get whump’d in a place as random as the Hemeleyas... In the pilot episode of Joia Rara, his friend intentionally cuts his rope as he slides off the mountain, causing him to fall off the the edge and break his leg... Following an avalanche and a long painful hike, he falls unconscious just as a group of monks find him...

Or you can just ignore my pitiful summary and watch the episode here :p

Dave Grohl Pranks Crowd With Fake Leg Break In Sweden

You nearly got us there, Dave…

It seemed that history was repeating itself last night (June 5) as Foo Fighters turned up in Gothenburg, Sweden, and a man who looked a lot like Dave Grohl tumbled off the stage…

Clothing

This is difficult, we have tried several different things and I’ll explain below

Dress - easy to wear, goes over your head. if it’s not long enough, knee high socks work well, and then a boob tube/skirt/cover over the framed leg

Skirt - again easy to wear and can be put on over the head

Underwear - this is a big issue; I’ve lost countless pairs where they’ve been snagged on the frame, you could adapt them so they popper on one side, I have just brought cheap pairs that stretch, size up is good, or lace as stretchy 🤷‍♀️

Socks - tending to wear trainer socks but if you have elastic at the top make a few cuts in it to allow blood flow of your foot is swelling still

Popper trousers- great invention, most pairs are all popper, only have a waistband to get on / over the frame as you can un pop the whole way. can find these at shops such as PLT, JD and misguided!

Leggings - I have found that if I cut a pair of leggings around the knee I can manover them over the frame and found that I feel so much more comfortable now I’m wearing them. think you can do this with gym / sweat pants too

Denim jacket - this has been a life saver for me, any jacket you can wear as a coat is brilliant, especially as it has loads of pockets that I can put my phone / key / lip balm/ money in and saves needed to take a bag out with me.

Crutches, I know this isn’t clothing related but have found that if you are out and about, even when you’re weight bearing you never know what’s gonna happen so take the crutches with you, people are more sympathetic to you and it does get tiring quickly if you are moving about!

January 2019!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I managed to spend it out the house with some family friends and even treat myself to a couple of drinks!

hydrotherapy is still on going and making progress every time, and physios are noticing how much progress I’m making ☺️

I have started to get out the house more and see my friends and family which is a massive bonus.

TIP: people do stare and ask questions, I’ve started to cover my frame with old boob tubes, mini skits, scarfs and some people use pillow cases and just split and velcro them

Have a hospital appointment and X-ray later this month so hopefully the bone has shown signs of bonding 🤞
