Ouch. Sounds horrible. Glad your boss is being supportive.
Are all your Christmas guests still able to come?

SoMuchToBits · 21/12/2020 18:03

It's not too sore at the moment, as I've taken painkillers, and it only hurts when I move now.

My sister is coming, as she is in our support bubble, but my friend isn't, as no other Christmas bubbles are now allowed. Even if another bubble was allowed, now that Christmas mixing is only Christmas Day, she wouldn't want to drive that far and back and then not see me (as I'll be at work). And her area has now gone into tier 4!

Fortunately she's fairly ok with her own company, so will cope.

I've not posted on your threads before, but have read them and enjoyed them
just wanted to thank you for being a little spark of light in a hard, dark year
hope the knee gets better and you have a merry playmo christmas

SoMuchToBits · 22/12/2020 06:59

Thank you! It's feeling a bit better again today, so definitely going in the right direction. Xmas Smile

Glad it's improving, SoMuch. 👍

SoMuchToBits · 22/12/2020 13:40

Thank you, Horse! My consignment of cheese has just arrived, which has made me very happy. Xmas Smile

When are you supposed to be at work? Glad it’s improving but don’t rush back. A 12+ hour shift on your feet will not help your recovery!

elephantoverthehill · 22/12/2020 18:16

Consignment of cheese sounds good. I think cheese is very beneficial for knees, eating it, not applying it.

SoMuchToBits · 22/12/2020 18:35

I was supposed to be working tomorrow, petal, but when I phoned yesterday and spoke to my boss she said I should err on the side of caution and take tomorrow off sick, so that the injury heals ok. I have Christmas Eve off, so my next working day will be Christmas Day.

I should be fine for that, as the knee has improved over the day today, and I have done a bit of walking to test it out. Will gradually up the activity over the next couple of days so it's not too much of a shock on Friday.

I like the idea of cheese for knees. Xmas Grin

Oh definitely a good idea to have cheese- I’m sure it can only help with healing injuries!

SoMuchToBits · 24/12/2020 00:04

Knee a lot better. My sister has arrived (support bubble so allowed). Day off tomorrow then working Christmas Day. Looks like everything very busy in our hospital, so could be a tough shift...

Meanwhile we will be in tier 4 from Boxing Day. @petalpower I guess our garden meeting on 29th is off? Xmas Sad

I think we’re going to have to cancel due to the Tier 4 rules. Xmas Sad
Glad your sister has arrived safely and hope tomorrow isn’t too awful at work.

ChessieFL · 24/12/2020 09:47

Shame you won’t be able to meet up. Hope everyone on this thread and all the Playmolanders have a happy Christmas!

Father Christmas will soon be out delivering presents, but first he sanitises his sleigh.

This year he is not going down the chimney into people's houses. Instead he leaves the presents on the doorstep.
