I went skiing in Bavaria and had an awkward fall fracturing my fibula in 2 places about an inch from my ankle. 3 days in of a 10 day trip =(
After surgery this means 6 weeks without putting any weight on that leg.
I'm 2 weeks in now and it's been driving me crazy. My whole life is either in the gym doing a CrossFit workout, learning an olympic or gymnastic movement, or reading up on training, nutrition, etc.
But now that I've done this it's totally put a spanner in the works. The most I can do is I've set up a pull up bar on my door frame and am hanging rings off it so I've been smashing out plenty of pull ups and ring dips.
Has anyone had a similar situation? I'm finding it hard to fill my time with something meaningful and end up just dwelling on the fact that I'm stuck doing sweet FA for the next 4 weeks while I not only progress, but lose fitness. It's a big part of my job and they'll offer me rehab and a training program but I'm more interested in the psychology part of things.
There's loads of stuff about pain management and rehab but I'm more worried about not going crazy, or becoming an anti-social hermit... =)
cheers
