I am an idiot.
Was tidying the lounge yesterday afternoon, stood on one of ds's little cars, slipped, spun round on the OTHER foot I had pu tdown to save myself and landed bum first in the middle of the kids wooden fort thingy.
Owwwwch
To start with my bum was sorest (!!!) there is a lot of me behind it to land on it lol but when I got up after 10 mins i could hardly put my left foot to the ground,
Dh came home early and had a look at it (he's a GP) and pronounced I'd 'done a Rooney' and broken my metetarsal. I waited until this mornign and we went to casualty, got 4 xrays and it is severley sprained but thankfully NOT broken!
But I have to keep it up for a week and they have put it in plaster anyway to stop me walking on it as the muscles are torn and they think I have detatched a tendon,
This would be OK (Wimbledon is on, after all!!) but as we are in Scotland the kids are on holiday from Friday and we are moving house in 6 weeks!!!
Owwwwwww!
Just did what the doctor (inthe house) ordered and had some painkillers and a small G&T, so will be off to bed soon. But feeling VERY sorry for myself!
