Hi, I know how you feel . I too have broken my ankle and I am off work for 6 to 8 weeks and cant work. But I have short term disability w/ aflac. You might try your local human resources. And try to get some kind of help there. Anything is better than nothing. I broke my leg on some ice on my sidewalk leaving for work one morning. I am just miserable. later, PHolster

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

you should contact your employer about receiving short term disability. It should amount to a certain percentage of your your pay, and it is usually paid by your company, in case of extended illness, or injury. Most companies pay 66% or 2/3 of your usual income. Hope your ankle feels better.

If you are in the UK you won't get anything I'm afraid! My husband was off with a slipped disc for 4 weeks and couldn't claim anything as I was employed and supposed to support him!! What a joke this country is!

Don't think so. You probably do not have short term disability coverage do you?? Do you have any vacation or sick time?? If no then you will be off work without pay.
Good Luck!!

eBay is a good option. You may find this guide helpful in getting started on eBay. It is written from my own experience from selling for 4 years. I've sold about 12,000 items. I've learned alot along the way by trial and error and hope to save others some time and mistakes! I didn't have anyone helping me, so I hope I can help others do this, too.
I haven't made a million dollars, and don't promise that you will. But, I have made several thousand dollars doing this and been able to work at home. Plus, it is fun!

no, you wouldnt qualify for unemployment and unless your company offers short term disability, you are out of luck.
Don't you have vacation time and sick time to use while you're off?
