I have my leg back....

...but it's not pretty!
Well, not that it ever was, but at least it used to work. Today, the cast was taken off and when I put it on the floor I felt like I'd gone back about three weeks. It hurts like hell!
It's still swollen, and there is still a lot of bruising. There is discoloration right through the heel which usually means ligament damage as well, and frankly, from the pain when I walk on it, that wouldn't surprise me. And it's so stiff! I've been exercising away faithfully inside the cast but it's still painful, stiff and weak. I wasn't impressed at the new x rays - they looked the same as the old ones, with the break plainly visible, but I guess they can see something I can't because I can actually walk on it now and I couldn't before. When I did my wrist a couple of years ago (scaphoid) it took the best part of a year before I could just push a door open without feeling the pain or at least the ache, so heaven knows how long this will take......
