Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

Ouch as well. Hope it clears up soon, DDD.

[TordelBack]

T'aint pleasant, DDD!

Hope the antibiotics do their thing without need for slicey-dicey.

DDD- That is a nasty little infection, so make sure you don't skip a dose of antibiotic.

<rant> Went for a burton while running this morning (see sports is bad for your health!).  Wife is convinced that it is broken but still able to walk (although somewhat painful) so not really sold.  Estyn in this week (the Welsh version of those fascists from OFSTED) so management are in full mental breakdown / let's blame everyone else mode and I'm in paperwork overload mode trying to dot i's, cross t's and cover my arse.  Next week they decided that they still want to do an internal faculty review as originally scheduled.  It really takes a special kind of ineptitude and ignorance to be a member of a school 'leadership' team. </rant>

[my apologies to anyone who is actually a member of a school leadership team, I'm sure there are some decent ones out there somewhere and one day I will actually meet one]

After extensive research I have surmised that when you went for a run either a) there was a fatality or b) you went for a beer en route.  Either way, hope your situation improves...

Cor, I never knew that (the third one). I love the idea of RAF Coastal Command running a training programme from a tailor's shop. Also relieved a Burton's isn't synonymous with a Barclay's,which was my initial perplexed reaction.

Tjm86, hope the leg continues to improve.

And Grugz, bloody hell man, you are really getting put through the wringer. Keep at it, mate.

Ah, I had something similar in January - no running involved, but on the first Monday of the New Year and I fell badly on my leg (which has had a complex fracture previously).  I wasn't sure if it was broken - certainly felt like it, though I have plenty of prescribed heavy-duty painkillers around the house.  Tried to get to see my local GP but after a few days of not being able to get an appointment I ended up in A&E. 

Unfortunately there's not much I can do to avoid future problems like this, all it takes is one person not looking where they're going (of which there are plenty) knocking into me, my landing badly on the bad leg and it all starts up again. 

For me it took about two or three weeks for the swelling to go down (as I say, complex fracture) but hopefully you'll be back to running a little faster!

I went arse over tit this morning, and that's just trying to walk from the kitchen to the living room!

[Grugz]

now what've we said about putting more water with it? tsk 
hope you're allright tankie

[Old Tankie]

I'm fine, thanks Mate, as it happens I do have a toddy last thing at night, maybe I need to cut back!

My house is falling apart around us and is going to cost so much to fix that I'm considering doing a Reggie Perrin.

I wouldn't bother starring in a sitcom, you're better off doing a runner
