Hi all - am looking for advice and sympathy!

Was running with the dog and a friend at Gisburn forest last Sunday and took a tumble and ripped open my leg just below the knee down to the bone and totally covered in Mud, stones and all kinds of black stuff! (have a photo that my friend took in A and E will try and post it later).

Thought it would just be a couple of stitches and home again but No they kept me in and operated to clean it all up. Came out of Hos on Tues, have crutches but can't really walk more than a couple of steps, am on lots of anitbiotics but allergic to penicillin so having something else. Have cancelled all my races for Sept - 3 Cani cross and langdale half marathon too and am not a happy bunny!

Off to hos on thurs to have sutures out and prob more aniti bios as it's red and angry looking!

AM SO BORED!!! what do you lot do when you cannot do anything!! Also let's have bets when i'll be back to Normal! ) i'm going for end of Sept.
