I am so pleased I have reached the three month mark. It has been a very tough ride, I think I am coming out of the very long tunnel and can see some light!
I am back on antibiotics, not for my trauma leg but my right leg! I caught it on my frame and then I think I received a nasty insect bite. It's very red and painful. I guess that leg is missing out on the action.
I have been slightly low recently, feeling frustrated and feeling the cold in my foot. I am so limited in what to wear that I am sick of the sight of my skirts. Oh listen to me, stop feeling sorry for yourself girl I am doing alright. Things could be far worse!
So I have been looking at my food intake to help aid bone healing. My calcium intake is great. I drink milk at every meal. I get through plenty of dairy with cheese and yogurt. I have been having lots of tinned fish such as Sardines I am getting a little fed up with them but keep on as I know they are very nutritious. Ready brek is great as it has plenty of fortified calcium and vitamins. My consultant suggested I take calcium and vitamin D supplement making up to 2400mg daily. I did have a blood test to check my calcium levels, I guess they are ok as I haven't heard anything. I try and get outside in the sun to gain some vitamin D. We are very lucky at the moment with the sunshine for Autumn.
I have a clinic appointment Tuesday to have an X-ray and see the consultant so I should know more next week. Let's hope it's great progress.
