I'm not sure whether it's bragging, or a shame-faced admission - in either case, it's lamentable - but keeping pace with my alcohol consumption is probably not a good idea for anybody but my brother (and I value my ankles too highly to try keeping pace with him).
Thanks for all the well wishes. No operation needed at the moment, apparently it was 'good' break. Just a fair bit of pain, a foot that's no longer usable for 6 weeks, an ashen face and appologies all round. I'm a walter. :$
Quite high up the break, which is apparently a good thing. The ligaments and that are ok I think. They sort of pushed things back into line a bit when they put the first pot on which smarted a bit.
