Well, I have my diagnosis. Kind of. I have given my quadraplex(?) muscle a nasty whack - the swelling has not gone down as yet. I have been given inflammatories and pain killers and signed off work for a week. He doesn't think it's a fracture, but is not ruling it out. If the swelling has not gone down in the next 24 hours I have to go for xrays. Bum.
He said 1/2 an inch down and I would have done serious damage to my knee cap, so I got off lightly.
SO here I am sat on my backside for a whoel week, feeling decidedly spaced out on this pills. hmmmm. Concerns about work seem less important - but again, maybe that's the pills!
Unfortunately we don't have a union. My Base Co-ordinator has been absoutely brilliant - she even tried to get my sickness following a car accident disregarded and is ccurrently looking at my injury which occured on board. Incidentally the pills I have for my knee are helping with that too!
I sound like a such a wreck - I am fit and otherwise healthy 28 year old woman and I can't go to work to do the job I love! I've only been laid up for two days and boyf is already losing patience. He works from home and has been running around for me - I think it was my suggestion of getting a bell that sent him over the edge.........funny, he went out very early this morning to a different city and said he didn't know when he would be back but it would definitely be after 6pm. Hmmmmmm. You'd think he didn't want to mope around with me.
Well - no doubt my attendance on this site will soar over the next 7 days so see you guys around!
