Hi girls, will read all the new posts when things have calmed down a bit, but just a quick update. DH is doing well; he had surgery yesterday morning to pin his ankle back together. It's actually the fibula that's injured (so one of the bones in your lower leg), it had dislocated at the ankle end, and then there was a fracture in the bone itself. They couldn't see clearly on the x-rays what the injury was, hence the need for surgery. They had to open him up to have a good look, and then they found it needed to be pinned. So he's now a bionic man! Although he's had major surgery, having the break pinned together means it should be a quicker recovery than if they'd just plastered it. I'm not sure of the details, but I expect he'll be on crutches for a couple of weeks at least, and then he might have one of those air-boots so he can walk around.
He's been told he mustn't go to work for at least a week, and he won't because I've cleared his diary
but I think he's a bit worried about that side of things. He's freelance, so if he doesn't work then he doesn't get paid, so it is obviously a bit worrying. We've got some savings, though, so we'll get by if he wants to take some more time off (I might try and persuade him to take another week, but I guess that depends how his recovery goes).
I'm doing ok too! A bit teary at times, and really tired from the initial stress of it all, but doing ok.
