Almost home from a run the other evening and a quarter of a mile from home when a dog in a garden lunged at Mabel who then managed to trip me up with the lead. I went down and smacked my head on the road. Cuts and grazes to hand, knee, and head, bruised finger, and painful ribs. There was a copious amount of blood and a lot of swearing!

Couple of close calls today, but managed to stave them off. Coughing hurts like hell.

Ouch, I remember what cracked ribs feel like. And the doctors smirk as he prodded me and said "Does this hurt?"
Yes it ****ing does.
I fell off my pushbike and slammed into the side of a ditch. I was doing about 30 mph at the time.

Best lay off the gardening too Gary.

Ooof, hope you mend quickly, Gary

Ouch. Puppy barbeque for tea.

Get well soon Gary

Cheers all. Been feeling much better today, ribs seem to be on the mend now.

That's good - I've had cracked ribs before (my own fault, naturally) and they can take a while - hopefully this means the damage was not too bad.

My gripe - both my wife and I were feeling unwell on Tuesday evening, my wife coughing a bit. We decided to get home tests on Wednesday morning, so book them in at about 8.

They arrive the next day, but at 6pm. Collection is next-day, but you can't book a collection until you've received the shipping labels, and you can't book in after 4pm. So we had to wait until today to book in a pickup for tomorrow, three days after requesting them, and with a 2-3 day turnaround target.

So, chances are we'll get a result on Tuesday, just as our seven-day isolation ends anyway. We were hoping for negative results before the weekend, so we could get out! My wife suggested we could at least have a lie-in, but we now have to be up by 7 to do the swabs and wait for the pickup.

There are many people in a worse position, I know, but this is just a gripe!

You've been in the wars lately, hope everything starts getting better after this.

All the best bud.
