Incase anyone who gave me fabulous word of encouragement was wondering how I got on at the surgeons....
The good news is that I will not be losing my leg - cried tears of happiness at a very stern-looking professor of orthopedic surgery (he was not impressed). I am so relieved, there aren't words to describe it. Having to wait for weeks to find out was horrendous.
It is going to take a year for me to walk unaided and a further year after that to be back to 'normal' - I won't ever be passing a 5-stage vetting but I will be able to ride again and compete as I did before.
I have decided to go back to uni to do my honours year and train as a teacher, which is something I have always wanted to do but was up to my neck in horses. So hopefully in 2 years I will be preparing my beautiful new youngster for its first eventing season.
Thank you to everyone who posted.
