So my partner broke his ankle whilst playing football on Friday. They thought he would need an operation but called him and said they would see what happened when the swelling reduced a week on Tuesday and he is now in a half plaster cast to allow the swelling.
Now my partner is the most independent person ever and stubborn as hell. He's decided he is going back to work tomorrow. He work at a yard and he helps manage the yard which is an hour and a half away. He has convinced his friend (who also works with him) to take him to work at 5.30am tomorrow until 6pm. He is using crutches, he has been explicitly told he cannot put any weight on his foot. There's no risk assessment in place and he's decided to hobble in and try his best.
I've pleaded with him to give himself a week for the swelling to go down but he says he will go mad sitting around all day. I'm so worried he's going to hurt himself and I won't be able to go get him as I will be at work and will have to get my son from school.
