Dr Said

Well I saw the Dr and she was lovely.

BP back to normal and she watch my range of movement but that was about it. Conclusion is I have "muscle trauma" aka whiplash. Apparently 90% of whiplash cases are better within 2 weeks. Forgot to ask about running so Leon/Ruth etc please advise!

She told me to take lots of drugs (so no drinking this week!) and take the week off work. Stay pain free and move, don't do neck collars anymore as they stop you moving and make things hurt!

Today I have discovered by coughing that the sides of my abdomen hurt. My upper left arm hurts (probably held the wheel too long) and my neck is stiff, mainly left side. The seat belt burn is also very painful!

I did snooze this afternoon but woke up as the car span round. Dr did advise that there may be flash backs etc. If I am still sore by the end of the week then go back!

Still main thing is I am alive and mainly unhurt.

Waiting for garage to collect the rather battered car. As it is under a year old if the cost of repair is greater than 60% of value then I get a new one. So now we wait and see!!

Good advice from the Doc. A good view point from yourself as well. I ain't a medical person but I wouldn't run if I were you.

I'm not allowed alcohol at teh moment either but I find chocolate minstrels very theraputic

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
