i'm curious....
yesterday while returning home from taking Sebastian to the doctor, i tripped over a hole in the footpath near my house. since then both the ankle and knee of my left leg are stiff, sore and slightly tender. i've yet to go to the doctor to have it looked at (simply due to a lack of time today), but i'm wondering how much effort would be needed in order to bring this particular piece of sidewalk to the council's attention.
if i get the medical attention it requires, can i then look at avenues of recompense (though, i'm not really after money, but if it requires physio i'm not sure how to afford it, whether i could get it on medicare or what)? the injury has reduced my ability to walk for extended preiods of time, and it's at times difficult to rest my leg in a comfortable position (because of the ankle). would it be worth my while? i have a toddler to take care of, and it means i can't search for part time work because i am unable to walk properly.
i have no other ideas on how to get council to look at this problem. a problem that has been present longer than i've been a resident.
i'm probably over stating the injury to a small degree, but i don't like underestimating damage to myself.
opinions?
til next....
