There's was a discussion on R2 the other week about people falling down the stairs. Crazy how many people do it and totally **** themselves up. Made for quite depressing listening actually

Swollen ankle while sat in A&E this morning.
Broken tibia, roughly where the arrow is pointing, and torn ligaments on the side of the foot
And in a cast. Also, I noticed there is an upskirt shot reflected in the glove compartment handle. Sorry about that

****!!! Speedy recovery mate. Looks nasty!
Got any more X-rays? All I can see is a hairline fracture on the fibula

Maybe it was the fibula they said. That's the only xray I have..does the fibula move your foot up and down?
The fibula is the thin one. It's muscles attached to the tib and fib that move your foot up and down.
But I'm not meaning to diss your injury, they don't put a cast on for no fracture so it might not be dramatic but it's still a broken ankle. Six weeks you say? no driving is gonna be the biggest hassle I expect

we've just had a guy in the office do a similar thing... coming down the stairs with some tools after unblocking the sink in the bathroom..... misses had washed the laminate floor at the bottom... and yup you guessed it - fell backwards and landed on his ankle.
6 weeks off his feet completely, 2 metal plates in his foot, now on a 3 month phased return to work.... he still cant drive as any weight kills his foot....

That nearly happened to me at Rogers house although we did have a No Fear on our back at the time! (not wishing to make light of a serious tragedy)
Rest up, mate. You'll be back in action soon. I've never had the pleasure of breaking anything but my wife put 3 hairline fractures in her pelvis over a year ago and has only recently fully recovered.
Cue crude jokes about how she broke her pelvis...

scary likeness isnt it 
He gets an E for effort. There was no attempt to make it like me (missing tooth, huge penis etc) and no quotation was visible from Dr Nick's mouth. A poor effort overall
