Just when everything was going brill........

[Ibot]

So Tuesday I was awake during the night with earache. Woke up Wednesday with vertigo 😔 so not able to run. Went to Dr she said probably viral go home rest 🛏

Wednesday night had acute pain in left ear. Phoned 111. I got oh no that’s terrible 😳 then got woken up at 01:00 screaming my earache stepped up a new level and now bloody gunk came out.

Went Dr Thursday. Dr looked at my left ear and said definitely infected, can’t go back to work tomorrow , have pain relief and antibiotics 😔 so again go home crash out and stay topped up with drugs 🤪 still not able to run.

Thursday night my right ear decided it was quite jealous about all the attention my left ear was getting so decided 🤬 you look what I can do. I was then woken with blood coming out of right ear 😭😭😳

Went back to GP who said definitely infected left ear and now my right ear had perforated 😔😔

Been signed off work till OCTOBER!! And can’t run so really fed up.

Back to Dr Monday...... let’s hope no other part of my body is feeling left out 😬🤕😷🤒

Thanks for listening to me moan xx

Oh eck! I get constant ear trouble and am waiting for an ENT appointment. It’s taking forever 🙄. When you feel so disoriented and crap there’s no point in running I stopped listening to music in my left ear and just channel the mUsic through one earpiece (iPhone) Don’t do any music in ears til the infection has gone 👍

I try and keep wind out of my ears and use a folded Buff. keep your ears dry! I chew xylitol gum as it's supposed to help Chewing gum on the side of your collapsed ear drum will help it reflate according to the last consultant I saw

It’s a game innit 🙁

[Ibot in reply to misswobble]

Thank you. I’m just in so much pay at the moment 😔

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

That’s rough... let’s hope you’re in the mend soon. The runs will wait.

[Ibot in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thank you

[Hidden]

Oh no! what a nightmare!!! I was going to message you and ask how you got on with your run with your sister on Thursday... get well soon Ibot the runs will be ready for you when you’re up to it x

[Ibot in reply to Hidden]

Bless you. I canx my sister just wasn’t well enough. 😘😘

[IgaT Graduate]

Oh my so so so sorry to hear that

Hold on over there, and hold all your body parts hopefully in one piece. Heal yourself properly. Use this time to relax, unwind, maybe some home strength training, so your legs will be ready to go whenever the rest of you will be ready?

And remember, C25K will still be erected, forum will be here, and we will still be here, waiting for you. In the meantime keep us updated how healing is going and if you are managing to work on some leg strength

[Ibot in reply to IgaT]

Erected huh!! Interesting choice of words 😝

Thank you. Just slightly gutted as I was enjoying it 🤷🏽‍♀️ Bloody typical

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Ibot]

OMG - I have no idea what my mobile is doing O_O it was supposed to be 'waiting', but it's not even close O_O

Anyway, I hope at least I make you smile

You will be back to running, also because you were enjoying it And you will enjoy it again.

Lots of hugs!

[Ibot in reply to IgaT]

Thank you for making me 😂 first time today. Bloody right I will I’ve got my plan.... not sure what but it’s definitely to finish this I mean I was 1/3 of the way through!!

😘

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Ibot]

You got far, which means it will be much easier next time. And probably you will be able or to start where you finished (just repeat last run) or speed up the process by doing 1 or 2 runs per week instead of 3.

I am waiting for your come back

[Ibot in reply to IgaT]

You better not wait for me!! You carry on being amazing 😉 then ill play catch up x

[IgaT Graduate in reply to Ibot]

[bluepanda Graduate in reply to Ibot]

Thanks! I can take ages to make up a name so to speed up the process I went with favourite colour + the first animal that I came to mind

[Ibot in reply to bluepanda]

Omg that’s brilliant. I think I need to do that for passwords

[Katnap Graduate]

Dreadful! I hope you feel well enough to encourage others on the forum and we can return the favour when you're fit as a fiddle.
