This is getting ridiculous

Short and sweet. Tiger angel slipped over last week and broke her arm pretty badly. She's having surgery tomorrow morning (expected 3 hours) to have a bunch of plates and screws put in. No driving or using her arm for 4 to 5 weeks. Not likely to be able to run for at least that long. The good news is that her hip is starting to get better (why do I feel like screaming at this point???).

In a similar but far, far less serious manner, I think I cracked a rib on Saturday so I'm not running either. Can you believe that we're actually talking about walking the C2S, more out of stubbornness than anything else...

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry to hear about TA's fall. My thoughts will be with her this morning. And Gnome, I'm sorry to hear about you too. Please wrap each other in cotton wool !

BTW I might be able to keep you company at C2S....

Oh dear, that is terrible. Poor TA. Pls let us know how the op went. Sounds so painful :-(

And you with a cracked rib. Gees, it doesn't just pour, it pelts down!

Will be great to catch up at C2S. See you both then. Meanwhile, TAKE CARE!

So sweet of you TA to leave me a comment today, just a day after your surgery. I hope the surgery went well & that your recovery is speedy.

Thanks for the 'tendonopathy'. I knew there was another word; I just couldn't remember what it wa! Part of my physio-ordered program (currently) includes eccentric leg press & hamstring curls together with lots of glute & core work.

Let's hope all 3 of us are back on the road very soon. Take care of each other.

Bloody hell! I think it's time for you both to buy a lottery ticket. Two - one each.

Yes, walk the C2S - you'll have fun.

oh for crying out loud! What are you two doing to each other?

Geez louise, that's some really, really horrible news. I hope Sue's doing OK, and that the two of you both get through all of this with your ever-constant smiles still in place :)

my best wishes to you both
