Re: What Are You Doing Now?
Sorry to hear about your fall, Fiona. Hope the pain soon lessens and you can get stuck into a book or two!

Hope you feel better soon Fiona. Hopefully with all the stress you'e had during your pregnancy, the little one will be a well behaved baby to make up for it.

Poor Fiona!Fiona1986 wrote:I'm sitting in bed feeling awfully sorry for myself. With 10.25 hours left until I came off on maternity leave I headed to work yesterday evening and managed to fall quite badly off the pavement and onto the road.Ended up at A&E and I've seriously sprained one ankle and bashed the opposite knee.
I hope it will heal soon and that all is well with the baby?
Speedy recovery from us.

Hope you're soon on the mend, Fiona, and get some good reading done in the meantime! Take care.

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

I hope you're doing better by now, Fiona, and that no further harm is done besides the one that's already diagnosed.

Hope you're much better by now. Just rest and do nothing.

Re: What Are You Doing Now?
Thanks all. My knee's starting to feel a bit better - though it's taking me back to childhood days of scraped scabby knees! Managed a nap this afternoon after taking more paracetamol.
Maybe if I sleep better tonight I can dig into a book tomorrow before Stef arrives. Yes, poor girl is coming 500 miles to see me and do day trips and I can hardly leave the house!

Re: What Are You Doing Now?
Glad you're a bit better, Fiona. Have a wonderful time with Stef — I'm sure she'll help cheer you up even if you can't get about as much as expected!

Oh dear, poor you! I hope the pain goes soon.Fiona1986 wrote:I do have a big pile of books that need read! Unfortunately I was in so much pain last night I hardly slept (can't have anything except paracetamol) and I don't think I could focus on a book yet. Here's hoping in a few days I can get stuck in and work through some of the pile though.

Re: What Are You Doing Now?
I've made it to the sofa today, and the pain is a bit less. The baby has been very enthusiastic in reassuring me he is OK, and showing off that clearly all four limbs of his are in excellent working order .
Ewan has been great too, he's been given yesterday and today off as special leave so he has been fetching and carrying for me. He has also been up every three hours in the night to strap me into my boot so I can go to the loo (just can't reach my foot well enough these days!)
