Read Kate’s latest for The Tablet – Coping with the ups and downs of life after a fall
I fell down a couple of steps and broke my kneecap earlier this year. It was not a bad injury, being “fractured but not displaced”, which apparently meant that as long as it healed in position, I wasn’t going to need any sort of operation
But I’ve had to walk around with a crutch for the last few months. People have been astonishingly kind over letting me cross the road or giving me a little more time and space than usual. A crutch is a brilliant visual aid even more than a physical prop, as they told me at the hospital, when they told me to use it out and about even once I felt that I could manage without it at home.
