For all those who are very worried about me (all of you), after calling about 5 different places, I managed to finally get hold of someone who told me that I will be called by ortho consultant on Monday. Such speedy service and good communication...

I noticed you used the word worried, I think you may have a head injury aswell as your foot

i think you should change the thread title to should i sew, and then you can apply for membership of the knitting club. You and your zimmer frame would be an instant approval

Yes, we could transform that into a sewing machine.

Just had to wait for 2h with no phone signal for yet more inconclusive X-rays and now I have to come back again another day for a CT scan, and have been told off for hobbling about on it, and to put as little weight as possible on it. Ffs this is the most BORING injury in history reeeeehhhhh I am becoming very impatient.

I have one of both my feet side by side, the right one swollen up to double the size of the left. I also have one of some badly bruised toes, and another of bruising that formed down on the sole of the foot.

£50 for the lot.

For those interested in my plight...

...Had CT results and more X-rays yesterday, foot is still ****ed, they're now planning on surgery and putting in a metal plate with a strong possibility that they'll need to fuse part of the joint and if so I'll have permanent reduced mobility in my foot (won't know until the surgery is in progress). So, ffffff************** basically.

I am sorry to hear that...thats not good at all.
Although its not going to help you if this accident happened through neglect you need to hold those people responsible.

It's looking more that way to be honest. I think I've been idealistically telling myself that it's fine and not that serious and would just take a bit of time. On the plus side, how much does permanent reduced mobility and surgical scarring net? lol.

You will obviously need to contact a Solicitor for a Personal Injury claim. Its pretty irrelevant how much you may net but reduced mobility that may have restricted your ability to maintain your normal active life and even cause you more issues later on in life will no doubt give you a decent payout...it wont be life-changing but it will be a small figure to stash away. Remember this was caused by someones neglect in providing you with safe and secure lodgings and it is unacceptable and they should be held accountable...imagine if that had been a child or elderly person who could have sustained more serious injuries.
You really must pursue it....its the right thing to do.

Sorry to hear that but foot injuries are notoriously complex

that sounds horrendous though

Have been going over this constantly since it happened - I think I mentioned earlier, I initially felt like they were taking it seriously but as we left saw the guy nailing another old, used piece of wood into place. It would be bad enough if he was just going to nail down a brand new board and leave the rest, but just blatantly nailing down a piece that already looked weather-worn? There were other maintenance issues inside as well, nothing dangerous but enough to make me wonder if there are even more unseen issues, and yeah at the time we left I was thinking, if an elderly person had the same fall I did it could easily have been life-threatening.
