well it was only a matter of time ... everyone who knows me has been expecting it and to be fair it has been an impressively long time since I last injured myself ; However having only had a visit from the paramedics 4 months ago it feels a little too soon to have had another visit from them last night !
After building up my self confidence for a second time to try and brave playing netball the last few weeks have been going pretty well, not only have we been playing relatively well but I've also been enjoying the game , getting to know our team better and feeling the benefits of getting regular excercise again (alongside park running too!)
Now all that has gone down the pan ! Nikki (team member ) and I both ended up fallen over very badly and we ended up sat in A and E with matching injuries on opposite legs !! We were a real sight and caused a stir as to what kind of game we'd been involved in ! The upshot is I've managed to badly tear the ligaments on both sides of my foot . My foot is about 3 times the normal size and a beautiful shade of black and blue ... I tried to take photos but the colours haven't shown up . I'm now really frustrated .. I can't weight bare for the moment And I can't drive .. I'm totally useless
But, yet again I've been blown away by where the kind thoughts and messages have come from .. dear family of course cos they rock ...and special friends (you know who you are) little messages of support have really got me through today , visits have been lovely and the bottle of home made blackberry gin will definitely help the healing process !
Reflecting as I can't do much else has made me realise I'm getting old , I still don't bounce when I fall and I'm rubbish at sitting still!
I expect my netball days are over ... last night I saw a very dark side to the game which I'm
Not sure I can be part of but I'm out of excercise until after Christmas so will review then .
For now it's excercising the 2 toes I can wiggle !!!
Ps if anyone has any film recommendations please send them my way!
