Grounded!

Over the holiday period I had the misfortune to damage my left ankle, which is now in a cast. It has happened before - the left one has been a bit 'iffy' for years - but in the past it's not been this bad. It seems that it is against the law to drive in this condition. Assuming that I could physically get in the plane and be comfortable with the pedals, could I legally fly?

And do I need to contact my local CAA doc, as the cast will be on for at least 4 weeks, or should it be Gatwick?

Constructive comments would be appreciated.

Looking at the wx it looks as if ANY flying is unlikely for a while around here anyway!
