clipped wing...kinda sorta



One hour you are up flying high getting stuff done and then BAM ya get your wings clipped!!!
Well in my case more like a 'hind leg'!
Yepper in the calf of my left leg.
Something pulled then POPPED, sounded like a bottle cork and PAIN!
Drag myself to the freezer grab an ice pack to slap on.
Got to the recliner to get it up. Did grab an Ace on the way.
Yes I do keep all these items very assessable ..I need them a lot !
Felt horrid for a goodly bit.
Like something pulling hard when I moved leg at all.
Some swelling.

Can’t stand long or walk normal so crutches are my new best buds.

So after some web look up and DH discussion, make the appt with our ortho practice.

Yes I say OURS, as much $$ we have INVESTED there we should have a share!

So all afternoon yesterday was R.I.C.E. aka rest, ice, compression and elevation.

Overnight being off it eased it off somewhat.

Still no normal walking.

Not as much swelling.

Today is a late afternoon appt.

So will hopefully know just what happened, why and how to proceed.

So off to shower and primp to get all ready to have my leg ‘felt up’ by a young Doc!

Oh be still my heart!!

Stay tuned report at 11!
