Day 11 - nearly a disaster

Today I'm sticking pretty close to the bed with my foot propped up. I had an incident last night and I'm crossing my finger I haven't done any damage. I could not get to sleep so I though I'd go and have a play on my laptop in my study. I was using my crutches and was approaching the door when my left leg seemed to just give out. I pitched forward onto my foot and the air rang blue. I think I must have kept some weight on the crutches because it was not crippling pain.

Hoping I hadn't popped any stitches or moved any bones or retorn any tendons I hobbled to the bathroom slowly. I sat on the toilet seat since it as the closest seat and tried to get myself together. I felt quite dizzy and wondered if my B/P was still really low. I don't think I leapt out of bed, that's fairly impossible! After a brief break I felt better and decided bed was the safest place. My progress back to bed was very slow and cautious.

I don't think my foot feels any different today but every little niggle has me on edge. I guess I'll find out tomorrow if I've put my recovery back. I hope not.
