Run done, I was also overdressed in 3 layers so my jacket ended up round my waist after a few minutes. Ice seemed to have buggered off at last, only a few hardy bits left!

Let us know how you get on ITG. :-)

Car is at the garage, MOT day.

Hoping Icelandic A & E is not as overstretched as here in the UK 🤞🤞

They have been brilliant. I was in so much pain when I arrived that they took me through after about 15 min and I have been lying down since then. I think within an hour, nurse was back with first pain meds (having spoken to dr). Dr was here about an hour later. Not really sure, tbh, but they have been great.

Now on oxy, ketorolac and paracetamol. Waiting for white blood cell test.

Now uncomfortable and scared to move but not in pain as such.

Aim is to get me through till I can see physio. Dr agrees physio is best person to fix me.

Glad they’ve given you some medication ITG. Hope you see a physio soon.

I’m just feeling shattered today. Was planning a run, but a 3 mile walk (part of it with worlds slowest dog) is enough for me today. Looking after nieces later too so that will require some energy 😁

No infection, just mechanical problen. Home now. Trying to rest as much as I can. I can't work on the meds but I can't work with that much pain either so I just need to take time off.
Pascal is keeping me company, not because he loves me but because all the cats in Iceland are grounded due to bird flu outbreak. OH has also been really good.

Thanks for all your good wishes 😘

Grounding cats sounds as near impossible a job as herding them.

Glad you have been sorted as such ITG. Hope you improve quickly.

Walked into town (just under 3 miles and a lot of downhill). Garmin told me I needed 8 hours recovery.

Been painting this afternoon and that's it for the day, am feeling sleepy zzzzz
