This is getting a bit beyond a joke

[Maddee_6333]

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 Maddee, I’m so sorry to hear that! All I can offer is my very best wishes for a speedy recovery!

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Thank you x

[Fabulous450 Graduate10]

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! 🤗❤️

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Fabulous450]

I will not 👍👍👍

[51mc Graduate10]

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!

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to 51mc]

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

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Oh Maddee I'm so sorry about your knee and I hope you get some decent pain relief. Sending you virtual hugs 🤗 🤗

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

The codeine has just arrived. At last.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Oh my, what an awful thing to happen, poor you. I hope recovery is relatively pain free and doesn’t take to long. Take cae🤗

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks Grannyhugs x

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate]

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.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Leosmit]

Really random accident

[ju-ju- Graduate10]

Oh that’s just awful, I am so sorry and I hope you heal up very soon.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Thanks ju-ju- 💜

[Granspeed Graduate10]

😱 You have totally had more than your share! Loads of sympathy for whatever good that can do. 💕

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Granspeed]

Thank you 💜

[Coddfish Graduate10]

Sorry to hear that Maddee, hope you recover well and quickly.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Coddfish]

Thank you!

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Oh Maddee that’s really bad luck, rest and heal well

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you my lovelies 💜

At least I have some decent pain relief sorted now.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

That’s good

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Really sorry to hear that - sounds nasty. Whoever said 'beware of the dog' got it about right!

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

It is very uncomfortable.

They did 👍

[RunWillie Graduate10]

I’m so sorry to hear about your injury 😢

[CaptFrey 60minGraduate]

Good grief sorry to read this. Recover well 🤗

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to CaptFrey]

Thanks.

[linda9389 Graduate10]

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.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

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 Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_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 😘

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Previous injuries as prep for the big time

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So funny.

Thanks for that x

[Roxdog Graduate10]

Oh no! Having been knocked over by my dog and ending up on crutches I feel your pain! Good luck with your recovery.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Roxdog]

Thank you.

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Really sorry to hear that. Hope you have a swift recovery.

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Thanks 🤞🤞🤞

[Run46 Graduate10]

Oh my goodness Maddee, that sounds painful! Hope the meds you've been given are helping and it doesn't take too long to heal from coz that sounds like a doozy! Feel better soon xx

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Run46]

Meds are working fine now, thanks.

👍

[Allbarron 60minGraduate]

Just seen this post Maddee. That's absolutely rotten luck. It happened to two ellow dog walker friends of mine but both suffered ankle injuries. I'm so sorry and sending you virtual hugs and wishes for as speedy a recovery as possible 🤞🤞🤞

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Allbarron]

Thank you 🤞🤞🤞

[skysue16 Graduate10]

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 Graduate10 in reply to skysue16]

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.

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]

😕 poor you

[OldSpeckledHen]

OUCH!!

[Wimborne]

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.

[Hidden]

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

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

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 🤞🤞🤞

[Roxdog Graduate10]

Oh my goodness - so sorry! I had an accident like that with a dog years ago, so am feeling your pain!

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Roxdog]

It really was very painful for a while there 👍

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

[Tasha99 Graduate10]

😕

[Maddee_6333 Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

I seem to be doing okay though 🤞👍

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to Maddee_6333]
