Wood screws, anterior tibifibular ligaments and sitting on my arse.

Well folks it's not all doom and gloom you'll be please to know. Although braking my ankle has been so far off the script it's not funny we're evolving a new plan. Bending in the wind like a sapling, mmm maybe I've spent too much time going through those New Age web-sites. That's one problem associate with sitting on your arse and having free internet access. On the upside we've been able to plan our route down the west coast of the US. This involves driving the coast highway (Highway 101) down the Washington and Oregon coastline. There are plenty of nice places to stop and things to see. We'll be doing some sight seeing and general tourist stuff and avoiding any extreme sports.

Life in a cast is fun, I'm sure most of you reading this have broken something at some point so have a good perspective on what it's like. For me this is all new, until now i've managed to avoid breaking anything. It's the small things that really get to you. A good example is making tea. No problem getting the cup out and geting the kettle boiling but once you've made your tea you then have to transport the blighter back to your seat. Suddenly the distance from the kitchen to your seat grows, what should be a few steps seems to transform into a journey of marathon like proportions.

The foot is much less painful now, i've been pill free for the last three days and although it hurts some when I'm up and around it's geting better everyday. I have a follow up with the surgeon on Moday 7th March so we are hoping to get a clean bill of health and get on our way. Fingers crossed. Here's to being on the road again.
