Fell over a couple of weeks ago - not while running - landed on gravel, and ripped my knee open.
And today?
Well, today, I was rushing to get 3 car hating dogs out of my car and into my house so I could get to my appointment with the nurse (to re-dress my knee) and didn’t see next door’s cat on their doorstep...
So now I have a glued up face, bruised ribs and a broken wrist.
I’ll be over here on my sofa, taking regular painkillers if you need me.
Oh my! Maybe a nice holiday next November? You’ll be back of course, there’s no keeping you down. Hope the wrist heals well, and of course we need you.
Sounds like a plan. Maybe somewhere there are no cats!
Mongolia has few... other than that it’s desert islands or maybe this place eventually! bbc.com/news/world-asia-453...
That seems a bit extreme, though I can understand why. Maybe let people have indoor cats?
When we went to Switzerland on holiday a few years ago, we saw plenty of cats sitting inside homes, but only maybe one or two free roaming outside.
Where I used to work we had an intranet forum... just before lunch one day someone posted for advice on how to keep cats out of their garden. I replied “12-bore” and went to the pub. I returned to over 500 emails, none of them nice... so I posted a retraction:
I understand that my advice was wrong, letting off a 12-bore at night is only going to irritate the neighbours... it’s overkill, a .22 will do just as good a job.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh no..that is really horrid...rest well..(deep breaths every now and then a la NHS advice..for those bruised ribs) and heal soon xxxx
Thanks Floss!
They gave me one of those ‘care sheets’ to come home with and deep breaths are indeed on it. Plus a couple of other things I’m not sure I can currently do with my broken wrist without some heavy modification.
Just take care... I know after I tripped..( over the coffee table!) and popped my ribs..it was very painful...
This is not funny... I think basically if you can, once the initial pain eases... then keep moving... I got onto my trainer onto keep myself from seizing up!

When you feel better this post of my trainer runs may entertain you 
Heal well xxx
I am a big fan of keeping moving. 👍
Ouch!! Oh no... Poor u. No good saying take it easy and rest cos that's what u will be doing. ...with a little moving 😁 I broke my wrist last year (scaphoid?) So sympathize. Can recommend bloccs (not on commission!😂😂) To stop cat getting wet. Get well soon. Your running will be waiting
I didn't realise you were you over on the FB page, if that makes sense! I replied there, but I'll say it here again, take care of yourself because that must have been a nasty shock and you are likely to feel it over the next few days. Maybe find a dog walker for the next couple of weeks? You don't want your ribs pulling - ouchie! Take care! x
That makes perfect sense 👍
Friend is walking my youngster this morning. And husband is going to take a couple of days off.
After that? Yes, I’ll definitely have to sort something out.
Oh noooo. Poor you. I am so sorry, speedy recovery and I hope your luck gets better soon. Rfc x
Thank you 😊
Oh no! So sorry to read this news. You poor thing - that sounds a really nasty tumble and a very painful outcome. I do hope things improve for you soon.
Thanks lovely.
Oh that is rough Maddee. Hope you heal up well and soon.
Thank you 😊
