Enjoying the morning sun.

 

[Lab_adore]

Beautiful.

It's so weird, on the way to work this morning on the train I was wishing you and GGJ nighty-night; and here I am on the train home wishing you both good morning!

 

[Cath]

Where are you both going today Candy?

 

[Shaz82]

Joy is really into the swing of all this travelling, really behaving nicely for you and what a lovely place to stay. Have a great time.

Er, you could say things haven't gone entirely according to plan. Joy and I set off for our walk after breakfast and after about 15 minutes I put her back on lead as we were approaching a busy road. We took a few more steps then I somehow managed to fall over! I was holding Joy's lead with my right hand and put my left out to save myself. That's when I felt an all too familiar pain.I asked Joy for a sit and stay while I got my breath back and waited for the dizzyness to pass, then struggled back to my feet and headed carefully back 'home'. I was pretty sure I needed A&E, so sent my brother a text. He wasn't able to leave work immediately, so in the end my SIL's sister, a retired nurse kindly took me to hospital. An Xray showed that I have what was described as an 'unusual' fracture, and a bone knocked out of place (so that's what the crunching noise was!) The outcome is that I'll need surgery, which they can't do until after the Bank Holiday, so for now my left arm is in plaster and I go back on Tuesday to find out about the surgery! I could have opted to return home for this, but I felt it made more sense to stay here where I' m not on my own and Guy and Jenny were in agreement, thankfully. Little Joy, who is being very very good will be happy about this, no doubt.
What next? I wonder!

Oh @Candy how awful but easily done. A good call to stay put until you know what is happening. Also to have care in place for Joy. Good girl Joy you really are a little star. Take care of yourself Candy. Sending you lots of xxxxx

 

[snowbunny]

Oh no, poor you! I agree that staying there is the sensible thing to do. As long as there's gin.

 

[Joy]

Oh what bad luck! Hope you're not in too much pain.

 

[SwampDonkey]

Oh Candy no! I hate that crunchy noise. XXX

 

[HAH]

Oh @Candy , what a thing to happen! You poor sausage - you sound very stoic, and it seems a sensible decision to stick around where you can be nurses and coddled and GGJ is happy and comfortable. Have they got enough gin?! Might need to get a delivery in... x

 

[Jacqui-S]

Oh no!
How awful.
Hope you have some decent painkillers. Or gin. Probably not both....

My brother text me this morning to say that after a week of mountain biking and chucking himself off the side of hill, he slipped in the park last night and ruptured his patella tendon. Needs an OP too. In a fair bit of pain.

Stay safe peeps.
You are sensible staying put @Candy

 

[Loraseal]

Oh no Candy
What bad luck
Which part of Nottingham are you at?
I hope it is not your gin drinking hand!?
Take care and I hope that you are not in too much pain
X

 

[Cath]

Oh I am so sorry Candy, but what a good girl Joy was

 

[Plum's mum]

Oh no Candy.
Hope GGJ and Guy and Jenny are good carers and that you’re not in too much pain.

 

[Ashley]

Sorry to hear this! Hope you're not in too much pain!

 

[Candy]

Don't panic! I was holding GGJ's lead in my right hand, so it's my left arm that sustained the damage and am pretty useless with it anyway. No gin available but that's not a problem, there' s this!
