I've had three rounds of X-rays and a CT scan, I have another consultant orthopedics appointment tomorrow to go over more CT results. It's been 3+ months 
Helpful diagram:
It doesn't help that the NHS is in a worse state than I thought with all the Covid delays, it takes 2 weeks to get one appointment, and then 2 week wait for a scan, and then 2 week wait for the appointment to discuss the scan... and so on...
I can hobble about OK in a boot (one of these big bastards below, it weighs an absolute tonne, I call it my Thanos Boot) which is fine at home and I can even limp my way round a supermarket now which is better than nothing, but I basically can't walk anywhere outdoors because the surface has to be perfectly flat or my foot will flex backwards and cause shooting pains. Would just like to go for a walk on the damn beach  .

Poor you....the Hospitals are inundated and so much to catch up on. They say torn Tendons are worse than a break. Lets hope that when your turn comes the damage is still repairable...
