So after 3 years of pain they decided to finally give me an operation. I have no clue what they done because they never told me anything. Today I had to go get my cast changed after 3 weeks, they didn’t even know I was coming and said it was another date but finally they found it and I got it off. The staff were very rude and treated me like it was my fault they couldn’t find me and never apologised for making me wait or telling me I had no appointment. I got the cast off with the expectation I was getting another one on because that is what I was told. Apparently not, they asked me if I had my other shoe but I didn’t because I was told it was going to take 6 weeks to heal and 6 weeks before I could walk but after I said no I didn’t bring it they made a very rude comment and ignored the part about being 6 weeks. Well they sent me home in pain with no support of my ankle. I tried to tell them that the pain killers weren’t working so I couldn’t walk on my foot and they were extremely rude and ignored me. They couldn’t wait to get me anyway, no explanation, no respect and no information about anything. They don’t take me seriously because I am young
