I've neglected this blog for the past 6 years! Pretty lazy really, although in my defence I work full-time and have 2 children.
I've decided to resurrect the blog to document my recovery from surgery on my Peroneal Tendon.
Here's a précis of the story to date.
Last October, I twisted my left ankle on the cobblestones at work. I was rushing across campus wearing flat sandals and twisted it outwards. I remember it hurting a fair bit, but I could walk, so I hobbled back to my office and tried to rest it for the remainder of the day. I've sprained my right ankle numerous times, but this injury didn't feel the same, so I presumed it wasn't serious. It didn't hurt too much and the swelling was minimal.
3 months later, after an MRI, ultrasounds and numerous visits to specialists a diagnosis was reached of a split tear to my Peroneus Brevis tendon.
I had surgery to repair it 4 days ago on 14th Feb, and thought I'd document the process here, seeing as I'm unable to walk for 6 long weeks.
Just a word of warning: I'm planning to post pics of it, some of which may be unpleasant, so if you're squeamish, beware!
