So here I am ... minding my own business (hahahah) and getting used to the signs of old age creeping up on me, the aches and pains ... the body moaning and groaning cos of the damp and the cold ... when BANG ... a pain in the left foot ... (OK I have a high pain threshold ...and I don't like doctors!!!) so I ignore it ... for a few weeks !!! as only I can ...until the ankle begins to represent something from Elephant Man ... and then I give in ... and go to see the doctor ...
Guess what ... I have torn the Achilles tendon in my left foot !!! W.T.F
Doc says to me "my guess is Mrs Bell that this has been a problem for a couple of weeks" DUH you figure !!! OK so my doctor knows me too hahahaha!!! Anyway .. Doc ... how does this happen ... he tells me it usually happens with athletes who haven't warmed up properly (ROFLMAO) or athletes that do quick sprints (hell yes that's me !!! practising for my next Olympic games) ... doesn't usually happen to lazy fat cows !!! But then again ... when have I ever been normal !!!
So the cure ... REST hahahahahaha ... guess my doc doesn't know me that well then does he ??? Oh and I also have to change my shoes ... try to get me a pair of shoes without heel or straps ... need to get some 'backless' shoes !!! (Hell yes another excuse for shoe shopping ....wahoooo)
And while we're on ailments and injuries ... on Friday SON-shine is in the garden ... enjoying the odd 20mins of NO RAIN ... me ... foolishly playing ball with Kleo ... SON-shine 'rocket launches' the rugby ball out of his hands into the air ...shouts "heads up" too late .... BOOOINK onto the top of my head !!! OMG I saw the whole of the Milky Way in that split second !!!and heard my vertebra CRUNCH together .... well that pain took away the pain in my foot for about the next 4hours ... and boy oh boy I woke up on Saturday morning with the stiffest neck EVA !!!
SO I used my son's 'beating and battering of mum' to guilt trip him into going shopping with me (sorry M am I being too random again???) mind you ... he did want to look for new rugby boots ... so it was 'nt all about ME ... and we got the Christmas shopping started too ... so overall a good weekend ...all be it a painful one !!!
