Hi all,I am a new member as of yesterday.I had a serious rta 20+ years ago which has left me with numerous mobility problems.I suffer from balance problems (due to a bang on the head) & on the 3rd August I went off balance, fell and fractured my left ankle.They couldn't operate at first because of swelling but on 16th I had a metal plate & screws put into my ankle.My leg was very badly damaged in the rta & with this being my left ankle, I am virtually unable to walk.I've had to move in with my parents (who are both in their 70's) because it isn't safe for me to be alone.I'm going to be like this for at least another 8 weeks.What can I do ????
