Hi again! I’ve been pretty quiet with these blogs recently, but there’s been a lot going on!<\/p>\n
Uni life has taken a bit of an unexpected turn recently. I landed a dodgy somersault in training at the end of February which has resulted in a dislocated and seriously fractured ankle, 9 pins to hold it together and 6-8 weeks in a cast. I’m nearly three weeks into the healing period and it’s getting much easier, although there is a lot more to an injury like this than I initially planned for! Everyday activities such as making food and general household chores, showering and even going up and down the stairs to the bathroom has required more planning, so I’ve been very lucky to return home until I’m allowed to put weight on my ankle again, and until I get better at using crutches.<\/p>\n
At the minute, progress on essays has been painfully slow with the setbacks this injury has given me. I can no longer access the library, where I am at my most productive, and the concoction of painkillers I have been given aren’t exactly great for maintaining concentration! However, the department has been really supportive – I’ve been given extensions on my deadlines to make up for time that has been lost, and lecturers have been in contact over email so I’ve still been able to get the support I need, despite being away from Lancaster.<\/p>\n
In terms of going back to the Trampolining Club, I’m still very uncertain at the minute. I’m aiming to be back in Lancaster full time by the end of April, so I’ll still be able to support them at Roses despite not being able to compete. If I stay for the MA Religious Studies then I might try getting back into it next year once I’m fully healed, although this might be an opportunity to expand my society horizons and see what else is out there!<\/p>\n
That’s all from me for now, stay tuned for incredibly exciting recovery updates and hopefully the next part of this blog will have more to talk about!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
