Not running again!!

[limberlou]

Well this is getting to be a habit now!!!

First the fractured and sprained ankle, which meant no runnjng for 3 months....until mid September, then last Saturday I hurt my back and was in pain up until yesterday morning. I booked myself a sports massage Tuesday and after a good nights sleep, a Pilates session concentrating on freeing up my lower back and a hot shower I felt fantastic yesterday morning.

“I’ll be running gently tomorrow” I thought to myself as I put my toesocks on and walked round the end of the bed to open the curtains. Then somehow I managed to ram my toes around the sliding wardrobe door and dislocated two toes ( I have very hyper mobile joints so they pop back in again quickly) but I thought I’d broken a toe at first. Sat on the edge of my bed, clutching my foot crying with pain and frightened to look and see what it looked like with no sock.

I did eventually and the 2nd to last toe was turning purple so I rubbed at Arnica gel in gingerly and put an ordinary sock back on, couldn’t face the toesocks ☹️

Anyway the rest of yesterday was agony. Every time I stood up it was like a knife going through my foot but my daughter had my car so I didn’t go to A&E- and to be honest they don’t do much with toes anyway. Then in the evening I soaked in Epsom salts and rubbed Arnica gel in again.

This morning it is still sore but not so bad walking and I have my car back and could manage the clutch pedal ok too.

But I think it will be a couple of days before I’m running Jujus plan again.

Oh (insert swear word) 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 what an absolute crock of wotsit! 😫. Stubbed toes! Bed casters and such like just waiting to cripple us Excruciating too 😳

So, keep up with the Epsom salts baths etc. Rest up too as being without shoes and socks will give it room, cos it's gonna be swollen for a bit

Put your feet up as much as possible. Day time telly is really good 😄

🤥🤫😎

It basically felt like someone had grabbed 2 toes with one hand and the rest of foot with the other and was trying to rip it in two while simultaneously jabbing something between them

Good job I have kittens to play with 😜

[Equi-geek Graduate10]

OoooooooWWWWWWWWW!!!!! Jeez! I hate catching my toes on solid objects! Hope you feel better soon XX

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Equi-geek]

So sorry to hear about your foot Limberlou, such a shame after all you have been through. As 61+ has got in with her flowers, here are some grapes 🍇 🍇 . Put your feet up.

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Feet are up. 😁👍

[Tartancat Graduate10]

Ow ow ooww! That's an impressive bruise and looks incredibly painful. I hope it heals quickly for you (arnica is good stuff!)

If I could find an emoji for steel toe-capped boots I would send them to you😊

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Tartancat]

Perhaps I ought to wear mine just walking round the house I stead of just gardening ( used to work in a warehouse).

[misswobble Graduate10]

I always wear slippers in the house now because of stubbing issues in the past 🙄

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to misswobble]

Yeah I’d just got out of shower and dressed. I usually wear slippers too

[boo19jul]

Ouch! Poor you - hope it gets better quickly for you!!

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to boo19jul]

Thanks

[Outofpuff Graduate10]

I too am on the IC. I feel your pain. As you’ve already got flowers and grapes I’m sending you 🍕 and 🍟. Get well soon. X

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Outofpuff]

Blimey I won’t be able to heave myself off the IC after all this 🤣🤣

[Agelesslass Graduate10]

OMG, you are certainly going through it, are you always accident prone. OUCH !!!! Take care.

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Agelesslass]

Not usually but I think I have been more tired lately due to having 2 new kittens- 1 each for myself and my daughter ( our Xmas presents to each other), integrating them with the big furbabies, also my daughters one being ill from the day we got her and 3 days later ending up at the vets for 3 days incurring a £600+ bill. Then my one being spayed and refusing to wear the buster collar so I stayed downstairs with them all so I could keep an eye on her the first night.

Probably biorhythms are out of synch and making me clumsy.

But they are all so gorgeous and worth it all.

[Crawlhome Graduate10]

Oh wow that's a terrible bruise. Poor you, I hope you heal soon and have lots of fun with the cats and kittens 🐱🐈

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to Crawlhome]

[orangeguy Graduate10]

Sorry to hear you are on the IC again Lou, I'll move up I've been here for three weeks now with a hip flexor strain, know how you feel, I'm just itching to get out there again

[limberlou Graduate10 in reply to orangeguy]

This is my 4th injury now since end of June and none of them caused by running. ☹️
