Ouch...

[Mummycav]

So..I’m on the IC but hopefully only for a few days...Little one having bad dreams last night so I got in his bed with him..after being in there 15 mins I heard an alarm outside & Daddycav has just got a new van so paranoid me thought it might be that, so I sat bolt upright and went to investigate...William has a high bed with ladders at one end, well at 2:15am I wasn’t really compus mentus and fell down the flipping ladder, landing in a heap at the bottom, I felt my ankle fold...ohhhhh how it hurt...can you guess what my first thought was?? Yes...running!!! Oh no?? Will I be able to run tomorrow as planned?? I was a quietly squealing ball on the floor while everyone slept....then a little face appeared from above “oh Mummy, are you alright???” Bless, that made me smile through the pain....once the immediate pain had gone I hobbled downstairs using the bannister as a crutch on one side!! Went to the window & it wasn’t even the sodding van!!! It was the nursery over the road!! All was well though & it was probably a trapped fly or something...

So I’ve been walking on it today & now it’s swollen so ice pack & a couple of beers are on the menu tonight...I’ll have to be careful I don’t trip up over my bottom lip...

Please post as much as you can so I have some reading material sat here on my injury deckchair!!!

Happy running my lovely friends xxx

Thank you...me too ☹️

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate]

Oh dear! Hope it settles soon MummyCav. We don't want you out of action for long...

Take care xxx (too late )

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thankyou Jan...I don’t want to be sat around for too long, you know what I’m like...got to get out there...just enjoying the sunshine in the garden at the moment xx

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Oh my goodness... that sounds really painful.... well done you.. awesome Mama and protector of the new van...!!

Heal soon and enjoy those beers,,but only two... we do not want the other ankle injured... We and the runs will still be here waiting...Big hug xxxx

PS

I Love your garden xxx

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you Floss...Daddycav is soooo talented & during the Easter holidays built a pond..we love it, we have fish, frogs, waterfall & fountain...he doesn’t do things by half!! X

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

It looks so restful and beautiful... I could do with borrowing him maybe xxx

[Hidden]

Poor thing- and not even running related! Still feet up and let Daddycav make tea

Get well soon

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you...I’ll get him onto it!! 😉

[Sadie-runs Graduate]

Oh no, poor you! Such bad luck, too. Hope the swelling and pain eases soon dear MC. Rest rest rest - the running will wait for you. I don’t know about you, but I am developing a more philosophical approach to wee set backs - no point getting stressed. Hope your lovely family take care of you this weekend. xxx

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Sadie-runs]

Thankyou Sadie...I ran 2.5k of the plan the other night so I’ll have to see what I’m like when the swelling goes down..poss Monday but we’ll see...running can wait..but can I??!! I promise I’ll rest it xx

[MarkyD Graduate]

Oh no! IC, such bad news

I don't like the look of that electrical cable running on the ground by your pond.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to MarkyD]

😂😂...that’s for the lighting...won’t be there for long!! Just a temporary measure until the outside sockets are done...thanks Marky...don’t want electricuting!!!

[Bridget007 Graduate]

Oh no! I thought you were going to say you’d tripped over Lego! That’s what I normally do! I hope it feels better soon! 🍻

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Bridget007]

Lol...that’s normal everyday stuff...just causes blue air rather than injury!!! How does it hurt so much??!! Thanks Bridget x

[Hidden]

Oh bless you! Running would've been my first thought too! Hopefully it will get better soon.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you..how funny when it’s the first thing you think of??!! Makes me smile x

[Hidden in reply to Mummycav]

Indeed & before this programme I certainly wouldn’t have thought about exercise!

[57jas60 Graduate]

Make the most of being an invalid i.e. get the family to do your bidding! Relax with your feet(foot) up, take ibuprofen to help the swelling go down and when you’re back running you’ll be better than ever.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to 57jas60]

Thank you...I’m NEVER out of action so I will milk it!!! Lol

[Lorijay Graduate]

Wishing you a speedy recovery but in the meantime beers and family waiting on you might help. Take good care

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Lorijay]

Thank you Lorijay...at least it’s warm & I can make the most of the garden x

[Debsy2008 Graduate]

😢 oh no! Hoping it heals quickly for you 🙈

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Debsy2008]

Me too...I’m not good at being injured...☹️

[SaskAlliecat Graduate]

So sorry to read of your injury ☹️ but spend the time relaxing in that gorgeous garden you have. Request Daddycav acting as your pool boy, or should I call him your pond boy, waiting on you while you sit with your ankle raised.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Thanks Sask...he’s doing well so far...😉 x

[Richard7 Graduate]

Oh no! Hope the swelling dies down soon. Bottle of beer strapped to the ankle to cool it down ... just in case you get thirsty!

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Richard7]

Funny you should say that Richard...I nearly strapped a can of caffreys to it as it was the coldest thing in the fridge!!! 😂😂 x

[Richard7 Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

Probably but as comfortable as a bag of peas!

[Sarakc Graduate]

Oh no! Poor you! Wishing you a speedy recovery! I’m envious of your pond!! My husband promised to make me a bird table about 25 years ago!!! I’m still waiting!!! 😂

[Fishypieface Graduate]

Oo er missus, that's nasty What you need is a nice sunny weekend, DC in charge of the BBQ, with daddy's little helpers chipping in with some chores.... put the IC in the garden and rest your foot on an ice bucket crammed with beers, save for a small alleyway for your foot to nestle in. Now that sounds like a plan!!

Hope you are back in action soon, but fully better first

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Fishypieface]

Thanks Fishy, That does sound like a plan!!! It’s not as swollen today, so I’m going to manage a wander round the 1940’s event that’s going on in town today & think about poss a gentle jog in the morning x

[Hidden]

Oh, what a nightmare! Isn't it typical when you're doing so well. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Glad you could still smile, munchkins are the best aren't they??? Look forward to your best update, may it be positive news.

[_SimonT_ Graduate]

What a great story and so well told! The only thing wrong with it is you had to get injured and be in pain to tell it! Glad you can see the funny side.

Wish you a speedy recovery and make the most of the fuss you should get!

Love your little boy!

[quirkybee Graduate]

Oh dear, that's a pain in the ankle, not bum, lol. Seriously tho, hope it mends soon, you'll be back into your running before long, rest it up hunny bun xx

[Decker]

Aw I’m sorry to hear MC! Hope you are back in business soon.
