Still no trip to the UK for a Cream Tea and Fish and Chips at the seaside? I am shocked!
Come on, Trix, I'm sure i could wrangle an invitation for a home cooked Sunday Roast Dinner for all of you. Mr Cakes makes excellent Yorkshire Puddings - as he should, because i taught him everything he knows.
RECOVERY UPDATE / NICE TIMES NEWS
My recovery is proceeding nicely. I'm spending more time not wearing my boot (only when resting), although I do wear it if I intend to sleep during the day, mainly to offer some protection against the dogs trying to lay on my feet while I sleep.
I've been given some exercises to do each day, nothing major, just using my right foot to draw out the alphabet in the air 4 or 5 times per day. This seems to be going pretty well and it feels like I've already regained some movement in the ankle joint in just 2 days.
I'm still spending almost all my time in bed, mostly due to not wanting to attempt to navigate the staircase until I have both feet back on use, but I am moving around a bit more (with the use of the frame) and spending more time sat up instead of laid on my back with my foot elevated.
Many thanks to the Wonker who suggested buying a specialist cushion to elevate my leg. I opted for a memory foam on due to the aforementioned dogs (and the cats too) and their sharp claws.
