Far and Away

@Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @Adge Unfortunately I am home - didn't even make it in to see the kids. I fell on the slippery outside tiles this morning and have hurt my back again. I got changed (as I was wet from the wet ground) and went to work but could barely walk when I got there. I got a lift home because I could not drive. I actualy drove to work but really shouldn't have. I will have to have tomorrow off as well but hoping to be back Thursday. I can't get in to see anyone today (my GP has today off) but hoping for a cancellation either today or tomorrow. I do have meds to help and now I am home I can lay down - so that will help just a little too. Really sore everywhere - not just my back - so it is not going to be a quick recovery I can't do anything at home but rest and make myself as comfortable as I can - certainly not how I envisaged this week going and only the second week back at work ...feeling really flat as you could imagine - was so looking forward to being back at work today and seeing the kids

Oh no @Zoe7 .... 😳

You poor thing !!! I have D3 in bed with something similar, but hers is an inflammation issue.

Do please take good care of yourself, and I hope you recover quickly ❣️

Ohhh noooo @Zoe7 😱

What lousy rotten luck.

Oh please Zoe ... take your pain killers as needed, and bed rest. Take a hot pack with you, and maybe alternate with cold pack. Try putting a cushion under your knees if lying flat, or between your knees if lying on your side is more comfy.

Oh dear ... bugger bugger bugger ... damn it. I know how much you were looking forward to this week. 💜

Pain killers taken @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member and I just got an appointment tomorrow morning with my GP - they had a cancellation early and it is the first appointment of the day so I won't have to wait around either.

I was really looking forward to going back today but nothing I can do but rest until tomorrow and see what she says.

Okay, thats good @Zoe7 .. Glad you got that early GP apt. Rest up today and allow things to settle. Dont do anything which may cause your back to go into spasm. Relax. 🐶💟

I just got a call from NBN Co .. someone will be here in half an hour. Fingers crossed it gets fixed today.

I hav everything crossed for you @Former-Member Surely they will do everything possible to fix it today for you - it has been so ridicuously long without it

Don't worry - not capable of doing anything today - in too much pain. Have heated up a heat pack already and had meds so hopefully that will help ease the pain a little. Off to lay down now but will check back in later to see how you went with the NBN.

@Faith-and-Hope Aware it is appointment day for you too today Hon - hope it is okay for you and you can talk out a little of what is happening for you - so glad you have that support around you. Hugs and hugs from me and cuddles from Cat and Toby

More hugs incoming @Zoe7 ..... and glad you are resting up ..... what else could you do ? And so glad that the dr's appointment has opened up for you tomorrow.

❤️🦋

It was really just about bringing my counsellor up to speed today. So much to tell ....

Yay @Former-Member ..... NBN techie on his way ...... 👍

So sorry to hear this @Zoe7 . I hope drs appointment tomorrow helps. Lots of 💙❤️💜💛💚

Yes so much to tell her @Faith-and-Hope I hope it helped you nonetheless Hon Sometimes just being able to let it all out in one go to someone you trust can be cathartic - look after yourself this afternoon too because it can also be deflating once you have talked it out.

Been flat on the floor for the last couple of hours and a couple of courses of meds so a little less painful than it was this morning - still very uncomfortable and lots of spots still hurting along with my back. My arm and wrist are especially sore - think I may have sprained that when I tried to stop myself. What a start to the week - cannot believe my luck

Tobes is happy that I am home though - been snuggled next to me on the floor little sweetheart. Even Cat came out to see why I was home - they are very perceptive little creatures 😺🐶💕

Are you at uni now or is today your day off again?

@Former-Member Any NBN update Hon - still keeping everything crossed for you

Thanks @Maggie Can't take a trick at the moment but nothing I can do - it is what it is ...just really bad luck
