Muppet

[lizziec]

I am a muppet and as a result of this I am fed up today.

Last week, about Wednesday, my left knee which has been misbehaving for a while swelled up. The Dr gave me some anti inflammitories and I wnet into work on Thursday and it was worse, so I stayed home on Friday and did practically nothing all weekend except sit on the sofa (though there was a great excursion to Espression on Saturday with Rah and Claire to celebrate Claire's birthday). Because of this I got rather restless and when my knee had stayed normal size on Sunday I decided, late in the evening to take something out to the car.

At 10pm.

My right foot landed awkwardly on a pothole/dropped concrete hole. Over my ankle went. I may have screamed a bit (it hurt) and some people came from across the road to see what was wrong. They restored my faith in humanity - the lady was in her nightclothes! Got Andy to give me a lift to K&C because it hurt so much and was swelling up beautifully. According to the nice nurse at the K&C it's a bad sprain and she would have bandaged it except it was not policy to do that anymore. She sounded pissed off. I would guess the "policy" is due to budget restrictions - luckily I had some tubigrip at home and it's now strapped in one of those. Sue came out and gave us a lift home.

I can bear weight, but movement in any direction hurts and I didn't so much sleep last night as doze being woken up lots by me moving my ankle in my sleep.

Congratulations if you read all that: The important hilights are that foo^rah, andy^sue, Claire^Ben and my ben (and others!) all rock and I am in ouchy pain at the moment and it's my fault and ben told me so.

I'm fed up and off work again. Daytime TV is causing me to lose the will to live. Hopefully back to work tomorrow if only to save my sanity.

Finally - Happy birthday claire_tanner!

But Trisha makes such good daytime tv, you're clearly not watching enough of it if you're still losing your will to live.

And psh, who needs sanity? \o/

Throw paper darts out of your window.
10 points if they hit people!

Good idea! Pity our road is too quiet for it!

do you remember being upset when I didn't tell you I had scalded myself?

[lizziebeth-c.livejournal.com]

Clearly we're both insensitive idiots then :)

*hug*

[no1typo.livejournal.com]

yep, in our efforts not to worry people we just worry them more. But we are too alike in every other way to be differnt on this one

[lizziebeth-c.livejournal.com]

Oh you poor thing! I hope you feel better soon, and don't forget to put ice on that ankle and keep it elevated. Also, such a good excuse to have people run around after you :D

[lizziebeth-c.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

Bum firmly affixed to the sofa now :)

Argh how annoying. Always difficult to know how long to be 'lazy' with these sorts of things. Fortunately after many things like this I'm lazy for a very long time and I don't regret it at all.

Ankles and knees... Fneh!

Hugs for the pain ~ but how nice for people to come running to help!

I hope it gets better soon, but as a frequent ankle-sprainer, I know how frustrating and painful it can be.

Take Care
