This is getting a bit beyond a joke

Those of you who have read my posts for a while will know that I have had rotten luck over the last couple of years with either myself or a dog being injured so that I’ve had to run solo, at events I’ve entered, or not at all.

The demon has struck again.

Yesterday morning I got smashed in the legs by someone else’s large dog when it was playing with mine.

I thought I’d be okay RICE-ing, but a few hours later it became apparent that I wasn’t.

And now I’m sitting in the hospital with a fractured tibia (broken knee cap).

2 weeks into a plan is definitely the earliest it has hit.

*insert cranky face here*

On the plus side, it did let me complete my leg of the virtual challenge on Thursday before nobbling me.

Oh no Maddee!! 😨 So sorry to hear that. My goodness, talk about testing your commitment? But...one thing I do know...is that you won’t be beaten!

You may have to press pause, but they’ll be no stopping you!! 👇🏽

Wishing you a speedy recovery! 🤗❤️

Oh, I feel for you! Hope your tibia heals quickly, sounds very nasty. Same thing happened to me 5 or 6 years ago. I was happily walking across a field with my young dog when we were joined by two energetic larger dogs. All were happily running around, when bang, I was on the ground with a ruptured ACL!! I have been wary of unaccompanied dogs ever since!

My son did his ACL & MCL last year/year before and has just had them fixed about 3 weeks ago.

Oh, poor you. Hope you heal quickly. Have to say, I’ve a real issue with people not being in control of their dogs but to be fair, sounds like a totally random accident on the dogs part! Hope pain settles.

Oh no, that sounds nasty and doesn't sound like there will be a quick fix 😪

Wishing you lots of patience, good support and speedy healing. Take care. You will be back.

In the absence of a CT scan, and after what my consultant said this morning, I am actually preparing myself for the worst case scenario of surgery and 6 months recovery.

linda9389 profile image
linda9389Graduate10 in reply toMaddee_6333

Oh no! But it can be done. Maybe the previous injuries have all been training for this moment. You are prepared. You can do it. You WILL run again. In the meantime, hugs and lots and lots of sympathy 😘

Oh NO!!! I am so sorry to hear this, you really do have bad luck when it comes to accidents 🙁. That must have been so painful, I hope you managed to get to hospital quickly. Extended period of no running - again 🙁...... but you will be back!

Maddee_6333 profile image
Maddee_6333Graduate10 in reply toskysue16

Got to the hospital about 6pm.

Got admitted at 11pm, after they back slabbed it.

Had a CT scan a couple of hours ago.

Will be here tonight at least.

No idea whether I’ll need surgery or not.

Oh maddee I am so sorry this has happened. It must have been quite some knock it gave you. Hope you aren’t in too much pain.

I’m so sorry I’ve only just seen this, I do hope you are doing ok and recovering well 😊

Maddee_6333 profile image
Maddee_6333Graduate10 in reply to

Thanks!

Fingers crossed I appear to be doing fine. I’m bending it okay - up to the 90 degrees I am allowed - and after a few problems with my back in the first couple of weeks I’m now exercising, albeit in a wheelchair as I’m not weight bearing yet.

Due another hospital appointment next week 🤞🤞🤞

If you’re now running that’s very encouraging to me 😊
