6 days was enough for me. It was Friday and the specialists had done their rounds and given me the all clear to go home, all that was remaining was for occupational health and the physio's to sign off on me, however both of the aforementioned departments don't work at the weekend.
I managed to coax the physio into showing me how to tackle stairs despite being shaky just walking in the morning, I was hell bent on getting out of there. She in turn managed to coax one of her friends in occupational health into showing me the necessary skills for getting in and out of a bath/shower and a car. They both signed off on me just before the end of the shift and I was free!
I currently have a 28" waist, the circumference of an Ilizarov ring is 24", none of my clothes fit and in typical Sheffield style it snowed. Wearing a mixture of Natalie's jumpers (she was surprised to see me being released so soon) and borrowed odds and sod's I managed to get to the car, and squeeze in (despite my leg not bending at all), and home we went.
