My ankle gave way under me causing me to fall and I was in horrendous pain when I rang 111, the paramedics suspected a broken Tib and Fib and gave me gas and air as they strapped me leg into a compression thing which look like an immersion heater lagging jacket. I was rushed to Wigan, where I was seen quite quickly and sent of to xray where nothing was found to be broken. Being unable to stand I was admitted to MAU where I stayed for several days being so very well looked after by absolutely everyone. The doctors and nurses were fantastic and I was diagnosed with a Soft tissue Injury. Everything was put in place for my return home under a re-enablement plan, so someone would come in 4 times a day and will be followed up by O. T. who will come and assess me.
"Very well looked after"
