I went to Selly Oak outpatients today for my Xray, and was very impressed by how quickly I was seen. I went prepared with a chunky novel and a large supply of chocolate, half expecting to have finished both by the time I was seen, but was called through within minutes.
The radiographer took a couple of Xrays, disappeared for a few minutes, then returned to deliver the results.
The good news is there is no evidence of a fracture, but the bad news is clear signs of ligament damage.
I think I have to accept that the Birmingham half marathon is now out of the question, and I'll have to reassess my training. I'm hoping the GP will refer me for physio, but it might take some weeks to get an appointment. I'm determined not to lose fitness while my ankle heals - I want to 'hit the ground running' as soon as possible - so if anyone has any good advice, let me know!
