Hope shes okay. I broke my ankle last year during lockdown.
Had plates put in, should have stayed hospital longer than I did but was sent home 24 hours after the op as covid was rife in the hospital.
2 weeks later went to hospital as felt breathless - said was worried I had a clot. Hospital rushed me out saying I was being anxious it was probably the after effects of the epidural.
Started online physio which was rubbish had one session and despite me saying i had developed a dreadful pain in my knee was told me rest up.
Then had a massive saddle embolism (as a direct result if the anke break - the awful pain in my knee was the clot travelling up) and I ended up un intensive care and almost died.
Then suffered a TIA - think a tiny clot broke free and travelled to the brain.
Im nowhere near back to feeling how I used to. All because I fell down the stairs and due to covid was neglected by almost zero aftercare.
