Avulsion fracture...

‘Twas the night before flying, and all through the house,

Mr Emu was tutting and drumming like grouse.

Mrs Emu was packing from the sofa with care,

This fracture would not stop them from being there.

Let this be a lesson to her to slow down,

And hope she can bring a smile to her frown.’

So!

Three hours in A&E... and one confirmed Avulsion fracture to the ankle later... I’m allowed to fly and Mr Emu is angry with love at my clumsiness. I’ve got a lovely boot to wear for 6 weeks and it’s a guaranteed restful two week wait for me! Massive *eye roll*

Hi emu2016. That’s a nasty torn from the bone ligament. Takes some time to heal, so take big care while away. Thinking of you as always. Diane

emu2016 in reply toDianeArnold

They showed me right where it happened. For something so small... the bruising is epic! I'll be resting up as much as possible! x

DianeArnold profile image
DianeArnoldPartnerNurseFertility Network UK in reply toemu2016

Hi. Yes, bruising is usually nasty. Please don’t be tempted to be without the boot before your allotted time! Keep well. Diane

emu2016 in reply toDianeArnold

I don’t think Mr Emu will allow that! He’s enjoying me wearing flat shoes far too much! x

Ooohhh no! What bad luck, totally what you didn't need! But so glad you can still fly. Maybe at least it served as a good distraction??

Take it easy, rest as much as you can, and let us know how it all goes xx

Me too! Looked a bit rainy for mid-week! Good luck with your 2ww! x

in reply toemu2016

I don’t know 7 rounds not sure I have an 8th and it’s a lot of cash.

Good luck hope this is ur for you. I know mr Emu got ur back x

Eeeee gosh. I didn’t realise you weren’t out for a round. It’s hard work isn’t it. Not just financially. I think it’s the years that tick by I find the hardest x

Oh my god. I am so relived you can fly, but so sorry you have fractured your ankle. You must slow down and take care of yourself. At least know you will have to put your feet up.

Hope all goes well in Cyprus.xxx

Uh Oh! I'm relieved you can still fly but cue the dodgy tan line! Wishing you both all the very best for a successful cycle- will be thinking of you xx

Thanks Jojo x

I’m sorry for being right about the avulsion fracture but I guess it will be a good way to force you to rest... who am I kidding? That’s rubbish news and all you need. If it helps, my hubbie’s ankle was better in much less than six weeks, probably about three, but he is a bit of a superman.

emu2016 profile image
emu2016 in reply toLizzielizzielizzie

Yeah I read it might be less. Fingers crossed. I hired a car to sort Mr Emu’s Mum out at hospital for next week... I’ve had to cancel that! 😂 x

Lizzielizzielizzie profile image
Lizzielizzielizzie in reply toemu2016

Hubbie was driving again a week later but I wasn’t very happy about it, I was worried about if he had to do an emergency stop (he said he could, he practised on our close before going out) and also about whether our insurance would be valid. I think it’s much wiser to cancel the car and do hope you can sort the necessary transport out another way x

Lol Mrs Emu- I feel like our paths keep mirroring each other!

We are on a pre baby (potential) moon before OTd next week... we chose Devon instead of Lake District to avoid the hills and have some gentle walking...(!)

Torquay is not flat! Lol we ended up doing a rugged coastal walk... didn’t fracture but many close calls!

Oh well- hindsight is 20/20 I guess lol.

Good luck with your trip!

Oh fgs Mrs Emu! Jeezo, you clutz! No more running in wedges (hopefully safely rescued in the cupboard)....no more wearing shoes.....now you have a an ugly boot to wear....what a daftie, you're stressing me out lovely!!😲 No honestly I hope you're not in too much pain. Take it easy and look after yourself!!xx

emu2016 profile image
emu2016 in reply toCinderella5

I’ve bought a lovely pair of converse for my return. 😂 and agreed to wear flats for six weeks. Mr Emu says it’s for the next nine months! If anything... this round has been one epic story! How you doing? x

All stuff to weave into the fabric of life on how your much-loved child came to be 😜🤞🏼🧡

Cinderella5 in reply toemu2016

Yes 9 months!!🤞🤞

I'm ok ta, blood tests are still off so no treatment anytime soon for me.☹ At least I got to speak to my GP this time. He thinks it's all connected to my under active thyroid which was my gut feeling but so disappointing and frustrating. If not ok on next set then re-evaluate and either adjust meds and or refer me to a specialist. Was so pee'd off that IVF is raking over my life that we splashed out on a holiday so off to the Caribbean in 3.5wks!😎😃🍸🏖xx
