A short break while I recover

I had planned surgery on my right hand on Friday, to release a contracture across my palm and fingers. I’ve now got a huge dressing on it and advice not to run until the wound heals and the stitches are out in about two weeks time.

I’m not very good at being inactive so I’m doing brisk walks and am looking forward to getting back into the running! More soon, I hope 😁

An enforced break from running isn’t always the easiest to deal with when it’s become part of your life! Enjoy those walks. I’ve found the photo challenges over on Active10 a really lovely distraction.

Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️

Hope it’s not too painful and heals quickly .. and that you at least feel better for getting the surgery over with, and the prospect of your hand functioning well again..🤞😊
