A week ago I broke the bottom of my fibula. For a week I’ve navigated in an air boot cast and I can tell you Ataxia and a broken fibula do NOT mix.
The hospital offered me crutches but considering I can barely balance normally I declined and so have been navigating the house in a wheelchair.
The dog walker comes most days to walk my dog, mum has come by most days and has helped me immensely, my neighbours are on standby and so I’m comping but holy crap it’s hard.
The dog (Rupert) has really struggled with this all and has turned into a needy mess. He does however love my wheelchair
Next week I see the staff at the fracture clinic to see how it’s healing. I also have a referral for a bone density scan because of how easily it broke but with Ataxia I’ve learnt anything can happen including trying to open a window and breaking your tibula.
How Rare?
