How big?

I haven't really looked at the wounds, I can see that my foot is still puffed, however I can live quite happily without seeing the staples in the wounds either side of my ankle. I know they are there and that was all I needed for a while.

However I thought I'd have a good look today and I must admit to being a little surprised. The wound on the left side of my ankle is about 4 inches long and the one on the right about 6 inches? That explains why I have had pain further up my leg on the right hand side. Shame as my ankles were one of my better features...

I have had a quick look on the internet for recovery hints and tips. I was encouraged to note it may be several months before I am able to play sport again at a professional level. Quite frankly as one of lifes least sporty people I would regard that as a miracle!

I note I need to be wiggling my toes which I do, and I have been trying to do some regular leg-waving excercises so my right leg doesn't get to weak - however already I can feel a difference in my legs - with another few weeks before I can put weight on my leg I wonder how weak my right leg will end up. I think I ought to find a physio.
