I was making light of it, but was persuaded later that day to go for an X- Ray. I had an Avulsion fracture of the ankle and it needed a cast for 6 weeks with follow up physio.

I carried her into the red cross ambulance as it was too painful to walk on, they treated it with alternating hot and cold compresses and stuck at it much longer than we would have at home. Swelling went down within half an hour and she walked out of the ambulance , tenderly, but much better than I could have expected.

Crazy thing is he twisted his ankle in the same field when I was young. He hopped of the tractor when cutting hay. My brother and I had to carry him over under a big ash tree in the corner of the field as it was a scorcher of a day.

Got a few weeks supply anyway as it won't go to waste but there might be more restrictions on the way for farm supplies and hardware?
