I fell over two weeks ago and have broken my tibia, fibia and ankle with a compound fracture. The three breaks are called a tri something, but I cannot remember what the doctor said (20mg morphine!!).

Can anyone out there help?

Thanks!

I can only get coloured casts in Exeter Hospital, at Torbay it is the usual non-descript one!
