In the old days I’m pretty sure if you broke your leg you got a bottle of pills, a cast on the leg and a set of crutches and sent on your way. It was up to you to buy the textas (sharpies/markers for the non Aussies) so your friends could sign their name and draw some questionable art you had to live with for six weeks until that sucker got cut off and you could finally scratch like crazy.

Not any more. The big surprise for me was no cast, instead a rod inserted into my femur and screwed into hip and knee for support. That’s a good thing. I can bend my leg, shower and move around more easily. When The Dutch broke his hand two years ago in summer in Nice the smell coming off that cast was pure mank-a-rama. So gross. It really did put the ‘in sickness and health’ to the test. Very pleased I don’t have to deal with a cast on my leg, as I’m sure he is too! I’m not saying I’m a model patient, he is getting plenty of exercise running up and down the stairs. He really is the best first husband I’ve ever had.

The machine on my leg in the picture you might remember from the closing scenes of Braveheart. It was one of the torture devices used on Mel Gibson. They have covered it with a lovely lambs skin but don’t be fooled by appearances. I get strapped in and it bends and flexes my leg four hours each day. Doesn’t sound so bad does it? I dare you to try it. It is pure evil! It’s purpose is to keep me moving as I’m at a high risk of losing mobility in my leg because of where the breaks are. Admittedly I have a better result than Mel, ie I get to live, but I can assure you we are at the same pain levels. (And just so you know I am not known for exaggeration. )

My favourite piece of equipment is my old lady walker. I already had this little old lady on one that lived on the kitchen window sill. My friend Fiona bought it for me for my 30th birthday. You wind her up and she shuffles along, faster than I can at the moment. You might think it was a bit of a cheeky gift but to be fair Fiona gave it to me because she turned 30 before I did and I signed her up to a bunch of mailing lists for stair escalators, gophers, walking sticks, incontinence products and those walk in bath tubs. It took her years to get off all those mailing lists. 😆 I think Pieter models my Zimmer frame very well.

Slowly cutting down on the drugs but don’t worry there will be plenty more drug fuelled entries to come. I have a lot of equipment that I’m sure you are all dying to hear about. You need a lot of crap when you break your leg!More tomorrow 🐎 Cx
