Thanks for asking, Polter.
She's still miserable. I think she hit a low point today because she was sure she'd manage crutches over my dead body and in fact, she couldn't even manage a walking frame. She was too unstable and unco-ordinated with moving the frame forward, so ended up falling backwards.
The Dr said that there is no visible fracture on x-ray, but he feels that is likely to be because growth plates don't show on x-rays. He said the bruise is well pronounced, there was obvious soft-tissue swelling on both sides of her ankle on the x-ray, and the focus of the bruising and pain is exactly where the growth plate is.
So she's got a below knee fibre glass plaster cast with a walking boot. She's very unstable on it and he's said that for the first week, whilst she can weight-bear, he thinks she should be resting it because he's worried that it could swell and she wouldn't be able to tell us there was a problem.
There are no wheel chairs at the moment in our area. I'm wondering if I could wheel her Mac Major onto the bus, then she could transfer into her chair, now that she can weight-bear, and then spend the day in her Mac Major at school. I've spoken to the escort and we're going to take a look at school in the morning.
She, of course, is determined that in fact she is absolutely stable and can run
