Last night whilst teaching at my swordwork class I sprained my ankle.
It is not a particularly bad sprain but it is enough to make walking uncomfortable. As if it wasn't bad enough that I did this whilst we were filming some short digital clips for our new website (under construction as we speak :)) I had to go to work with it.
(My group found it very funny indeed to keep replaying me falling on my arse...)
Why is this a problem I hear you ask...
Well as some of you might know I am a Nurse. Technically I am the Professional Development Nurse for the Orthopaedic Department in a lagr inner city hospital. Which means I spend a lot of my time teaching Orthopaedics. I also teach casting and splinting for the British Orthopaedic Association.
All told I spent the first hour of my day at work on a trolley whilst one of my ex-pupils now a fully qualified Orthopaedic Technician applied a splint to my ankle.
It was a very unusual experiance to have a cast applied as a patient, I have had more than I can remember in the course of teaching but this was very different.
It is a little more comfortable now and I can walk pretty well but I get some very strange looks from patients whilst I hobble round the department.
Just thought I'd share my interesting morning with you.
