The accident.......................

Well, those who know me will also know I do little at half measure so I am sure this post won't come as surprise to you!

I returned to Singapore Friday afternoon after a lovely stay with my parents. Fortunately the luxury of a Business Class seat enabled me to get plenty of sleep and so prevent too much in the way of the dreaded "jet lag"! As such, Graham and I went for a lovely curry followed by the wonderful company of Abbe, Mick and Christopher Keaney. Christopher is SUCH a honey and I think the FIRST baby to trigger any form of hormonal pangs for another baby since the decision to call Heather our "last"! Don't panic Graham - that decision still stands but it was nice to feel that "gooey" sort of "warm, fuzzy" feeling us women get! Thank you to Abbe for letting me have such lovely cuddles and thank you Christopher for being yummy and not screaming your head off when I did my best "Auntie" impression!

Anyway.........................................

Saturday came and so did the opportunity for a lovely Singaporian coffee followed my a mushroom soup YUM YUM! I purchased a gorgeous skirt and a pair of strappy sandals to help me "look the part" when I return to work tomorrow (or at least that was the plan....)

Now comes the clanger..................

We headed to Lagunita for the afternoon, the plan was for the kids to swim, Graham to catch up on some emails and I would go for a run (haven't done any whilst in the Uk as it was too cold). I was running well until I realised a numbness creeping through my left leg - sometimes the run up to an MS attack......then my bowel decided to go into over drive (another problem with MS) and I realised I MUST stop running. I stopped the machine immediately but with my brain upside down and round the wrong way and the dreaded fear I could "mess myself" in front of the entire gym of attempted to get off before the belt had completely stopped moving..........I was literally "flung" off and landed hard on my bottom and elbow.............Of couse I did all the sheepish "yes, I'm fine" things you do before you scuttle off.........My bowel fortunately held out until I got to the ladies BUT my back and elbow were somewhat painful.....I had previously booked a pedicure but could barely sit for it and had to phone Graham to get him to get me out of the seat........the pain got worse and worse until finally he demanded I see a Dr. On our way we bumped in to Shin and her family.....she said "welome back" to me and I responded with "WELCOME BACK" to her - I was elated to see such a difference in her.....I hope a miracle has been performed - it certainly appeared that way....................

An X-ray at East Shore showed I have a bad fracture to the Sabum (???haven't a clue how you spell that???!!! Its the bone above your coccyx anyway. Not a lot you can do about it though other than rest, take painkillers and wait......The pain over night was so severe I returned to the hospital again this morning. The Dr gave me a shot of pethadine and offered to admit me - I declined feeling there is little they can do that I can't do at home? The pethadine has worked miracles so far however........................I've got an MC so obviously can't start my new job tomorrow :-( Not sure how that will leave me with the new company............. :-(

Guess it could mean I have start looking again when I get myself right. Not sure they will be amused with me thowing a sicky before I even start!?!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh further update - Grahams just spoken to them - they've said not to even think about work and Graham said he'll update them as to my progress later in the week - I'm hoping that means they will let me start a bit later??? I hope so.....................
