Two weeks following the eventful day

I have reached the two week mark since my accident.

I had a comfortable night last night and managed to drift off to sleep for short periods of time.
Having a good night has given me the strength to do that little extra today. I managed to do a few house jobs with the help of my children. I seem to be finding it easier to keep my foot down, however it does balloon up quite quickily so I put my foot high up on pillows to rest it. My day tends to be exercise, rest, exercise, rest, blah blah! I am finding it a little easier to lift my leg with the fixator. My muscles seem to be able to handle it. My hip feels a bit unusual as the foot plate is higher that my good foot. I am going to have to look out for some raised footwear.

I have found that my toe exercises have become controlled, they are not as painful as previously. The bruising is now showing, my foot is all different colours!

I was looking at my wardrobe, I have very limited clothes. It is mostly skirts or dresses. I am going to have to find some very baggy stretchy trousers to use when it is a cooler day. Glad it's summer!
