Dog walking is dangerous!

Aw jeeze! I thought this was going to be similar to my walk this morning, out jogging at 5am with the dog, in the dark, when he suddenly drops to the floor and I hurdle ungracefully over the top. Yours sounds nasty! Hope you mend quickly.
 
Ouch! Hope you like knitting and jigsaw puzzles. ;)
My daughter broke her ankle at the beginning of May - had an op, plate and pins. She is much better now but had weeks of sitting around with foot up.
 
Your post is very calm but the outcome is so serious! Fingers crossed you get through surgery and out of the hospital asap, I imagine it's even more stressful than usual being in a hospital at this time.

Good luck ?
 
I'm so sorry to hear this PaS, good luck in surgery today and hope the recovery goes well. Which bone(s) did you break? (just morbid curiosity here, sorry...).
 
It's a a really good point about your sister being there....one of my mates always asks me to let her know if I'm going oop mountains (primarily because she knows one of my dogs wouldn't let a paramedic anywhere near me and I'd probably die alone and be eaten ?).
Ironically my worst injuries have been like yours and have not taken place at altitude....
 
Oh my goodness, what a nightmare! That really is rotten luck :( hope the op goes ok and you're back home recuperating soon. Wishing you a very speedy recovery x
 
Ouch! Sorry to hear this, hope you're reading this having come round from successful surgery and you heal up quickly and well.
 
Thank you all for your kind thoughts and good wishes. I was very glad that YorksG managed to get the dogs away before they had really worked out what was going on, or I could have had trample injuries to add to broken tibia & fib, just above but not involving the ankle.
Change of plan now that the consultant has seen the CT scan. Full leg cast, because the bones are still aligned, with frequent checks by xray and no weight bearing until the bones are healed enough. I broke the other ankle several years ago, was in a pot for 6 weeks and that was boring enough! I think this might be longer.
