Oh bugger


Oops. Tripped up and broke my foot on Halloween.

Bugger.

No spinning for a while and I have to sit with my foot up for at least 6 weeks, possibly longer.

Ugh. I feel a bit bad because I've been in my new job for a grand total of a month and now I'm signed off by the doctor. I am struggling to get about, even with a Zimmer frame (I can't manage crutches).

I had surgery and had a plate put in and have been joking that I'm collecting a set (I already have one in my wrist).

I can't get up stairs without pulling myself up and even going short distances on the frame tires me out. I've frightened myself a bit because I've been neglecting my health a bit, so am overweight and am unfit (I have no upper body strength).

I can knit for short times but my leg is a bit sore, so my concentration isn't there.

So, I'm a bit fed up, a bit scared about the state of my own health and am worried about still having a job at the end of it :/

Blargh!
