My word its been 5 days and each day i want to blog.
Whats happened , well i received the wedding DVDs of Toms wedding. We thought they had been lost forever. The photos on them were the last ones we had of all of together and i so desperately wanted to get them. It was luck that clearing out the rooms ready for Tom that i found an address. The photographer had a copy in storage and sent me the 3 discs so with luck i will be able to get off some treasured memories. Tom was fine about me sending for them. I wasn't sure because of the situation but he was really good about it.
The weekend came and went with a bit of a bang!!! Saturday was really a day of chilling and catching up with jobs and house hunting for Tom.
Sunday i got up early to go for a run. Big mistake. My ankle still a bit iffy from last weekend but i thought i really need the practice.
Why cant i run without needing the loo!!! set off with a group and was keeping up well. Looked promising. Then to the bushes. Didn't feel to bad because the group still in front. Got to cross country and into the tractor ruts, ankle over again! but i kept running. Another mistake. I found walking more problematic so it was run and walk, We did 6.9 miles!!! by the time i got back i was feeling the ankle managed to get on my bike and then wham. Couldn't get off the bike, soon as i put weight on the foot it was so painful.
Ice and then spent the rest of the day with my foot up. So angry especially as i had got us places on a run and another race coming up in October!!! Tim did say he wondered if my body was trying to tell me something. Well that maybe so but my mind is saying blow that i am going to do what i set out to do!!!
Anyway watched a good DVD and had a sleep.
Tom seems more settled about Rocky but still wants his own place.
Monday and after a visit to the Dr's it was on to the hospital!!! I put a pair of heels on because i found it easier to walk on tip toe. Yet another mistake. Apparently it only shortens the calf muscles and then i was at risk of tearing the hamstring again when i start running. Man i had the heel down in a flash. Painful though. A sprain! which once you have a weakness apparently it can go again, so i have been given exercises to do for the ankles to strengthen them!!!
Lots of painkillers and flats. Problem is its throwing my back out so i am being even more careful. Tom came into the room last night and wondered what i was doing. I resembled a demented slug thrashing about on the floor. Still whatever it takes!!!
Today it does seem a little easier. Although now its throbbing a bit. Soon to bed for a rest. Meeting tomorrow so another chance to rest it! I do hope it will not take as long as i did when i was on holiday in June!! Got my peas ready to put on for 20 Min's whilst i read a book!!
I have time to reflect yet again and this injury only makes me more determined to raise money for the CF unit a Papworth. Its whats keeping me going, just being able to, hopefully make a difference to the lives of people with CF. Mikey would i know be pleased. He was so grateful to the staff on that unit even though he hated being in there during the last few months of his life. I will do what ever it takes, run every day if i have to, to enable me to go the distance. I will do this, i can do it, i must do it!!!
So on that very positive note, its bed with my ice pack and just remind myself that tomorrow is another day.
Blog tomorrow!!!
