Just one thing after another...

[Brushwork]

I fell down a couple of stairs, badly sprained and bruised my left ankle and twisted and bruised the right one. Heaps of pain, thankfully my son came to my rescue with his 1st aider skills, brought ice packs, compression wraps and RICE instructions were clearly given. Later he brought the family along with meals, and treats. So, I’m recovering, but so didn’t need further isolation!

My brother is working on a 3 year contract in Texas, he was supposed to spend 30% of his time in the UK and much of that at home. Obviously, since March last year he’s not been allowed to return home and then go back to USA, he’d have to quit his contract. Now the weather has delayed his long negotiated, hard won trip home! It’s been hard on his wife and daughter.

I’m still waiting but hopefully closer to started on tocilizumab.

Thank goodness I’m still getting relief from steroid injection, though I’m beginning to feel the familiar twinges.

Go gently through the day and stay safe....

Ouch , that's awful . I fell and banged my knee last October , had to keep it up for ages. Hope you get the TCZ soon and no more accidents!,

Yes it's hard not to be able to go back for your brother , but he will see them soon hopefully. What a busy time for you all x

Ankle sprains are so painful! Thank goodness your son was there to help. Keep it elevated today and rest. Hope you feel better soon.

Oh no, hope you aren't in too much pain today. I find the shock from the fall just as bad as the physical pain sometimes .

Your son sounds like a dream so lovely he was there to help. Hopefully after you've started your new medication you will feel better.

Sending virtual cup of tea x

I'm sorry to hear about that Brushwork. These things happen though don't they - happened to me twice in a few months and even knocked myself out for a few seconds on one of those occasions - the problem is that it takes a couple of seconds to fall but sometimes much longer to recover. It's good that your son was on hand to help and I hope your recovery will be a short one. xx

Sending some warm supportive wishes your way xx

Oh noooo. Hope you aren’t as ouch soon. I fell down the last three bedroom stairs in October and it is terrifying. Sprained and pulled tendons and muscles and they take time to heal. Look after yourself. ❤️x
