Скачать или смотреть Week 4 Broken Heel & Ankle Recovery | Calcaneus Fracture, Breastfeeding, Crohn’s & Setbacks

Welcome back to Week 4 of my broken heel and ankle recovery vlog.

This week has been one of the toughest so far. After a fall while trying to decorate for Christmas with my kids, I ended up back in A&E with worsening pain and swelling. I found out my calcaneus fracture is slightly displaced, had my cast removed and replaced, and experienced one of the most painful fracture clinic appointments yet.

In this vlog, I talk honestly about:
• Living with a fractured calcaneus and talus
• The reality of muscle wastage and worsening pain
• Being left without a cast in fracture clinic
• How breastfeeding and active Crohn’s disease can impact bone healing
• Managing recovery while breastfeeding an 8-month-old
• Taking vitamin D and calcium to support healing
• Starting enoxaparin injections
• Missing out on festive moments and trying to adapt
• Finding purpose through crochet, including making forget-me-not hearts for bereavement support
• Turning setbacks into something meaningful

This recovery journey has been emotional, painful, and unpredictable — but I’m sharing it honestly in the hope it helps someone else feel less alone.

If you’re dealing with injury, chronic illness, or recovery while parenting — you’re not on your own 🤍
