play the sympathy vote, the guy on crutches looking for work is a big plus point.
Definitely. I'd keep doing what you're doing but make sure everyone you call knows that you're doing it because you've got a broken leg.
On a more practical note, find out if you are now entitled to anything from the State due to the drastic change in your income. Tax credits, SSP, I don't know what but find out. Quite often this can make all the difference.
Good luck
