Meh!

This pretty much summarises it...

When I woke up this morning, I had a swolen and a bit blueish looking ankle. My calf was a bit swollen as well and I had an uncomfortable sore feeling on my leg. I decided to go to open surgery (a facility provided by GP surgeries first thing in the morning for things that can't wait. It operates on a first come first served basis, so I made sure I was there very early).

The doctor had a look at my leg and signed me off work for ten days. Basically, I have to rest as much as I can, possibly with my leg raised. This doesn't mean that I can't move at all. Actually, I should walk from time to time, or my leg will become stiff. What I have to do is ocasional short distance walks, walking very slowly, rest my leg as much as I can and do my physio exercises regularly. So, I'm not housebound, thank god for that!!!

This evening I've been invited for dinner by two friends of mine. That'll cheer me up for sure, and there is a bus that pretty much takes me from door to door!! :)

Thanks very much for all your caring comments recently, they mean a lot to me! I hope you're all having a good day and have a fantastic weekend! :)
