patsylabrador Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Briefly saw DD this morning. On her way out she yelled she was 21 not out and hit a 4. I know she was playing cricket last night and I assume that was good. She seemed pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 i refuse to watch Sun sex and suspicious parents. I might go and stay in the next resort along to and take a wig so i can keep an eye on him. No on second thoughts wont - I would develop high blood pressure. I am glad I have boys - i take my hats off to those mums with girls. My friend has a 12 yr old just started her periods and bless her shes hell. That and my friend and her menopause. We giggle at it but I couldnt cope with it. ES tells me everything - sometimes I wish he didnt. hey ho. Joys of motherhood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 This is the first time I've sat down all day so much for a lovely weekend on my own, just pottering around. Dropped into our local feed store today and had a cuddle of a lovely 11 week old black springer spaniel puppy... her ears smelled delicious and her mum was more than happy to let this strange woman snuggle the puppy while she sorted out the dog tags. *sighs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Puppy broody DM? You can have Tango if you like - she rolled in fox poo this afternoon (not content with looking like a fox she's now decided she needs to smell like one too ) so had to be bathed. She has since spent the rest of the afternoon and evening letting off disgusting, smelly farts. Revolting dog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Feeling a bit annoyed with myself. I did the Race for Life with my sisters and two of my nieces today. Ran the start then walked as my shin splints were playing up. Then on the last KM or so, walked quickly to overtake some women, and something went pop in my right calf muscle. Arghony! I managed to finish by walking with my foot pointing outwards, but was so gutted I couldn't do it quicker. Still, we did it in just under 50 mins, which I am pleased about. Now Googling to see what best to do. Have take 'prufen, rubbed on warming cream and have it up and am stretching my toes up and down using a physio belt thing. Someone on-line mentioned I could be off my feet for 2 weeks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I've just had that Karin - for the second time... I feel your pain. Ruptured 'Gastroc' Ice it and keep it up until the swelling has gone down, wear a support and once the swelling has dissipated, try to walk carefully on it to maintain the full range of movement. My osteopath did some work on it and it was a lot better afterwards. I does heal fairly quickly.... a week on and I'm walking normally again.

bluekarin Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I am lying on the sofa, leg propped up with an ice pack (on 20 mins then off 20 mins) and using Brias crutches to get about - thank god we have two sets! the pic is exactly where is hurts. I hope it will be better soon as we will have new pup here in a few weeks. Not to mention my poor hubby having to drop off and pick Bria up from school. thankfully work is a bit quiet.

LolaLayla Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Karin - hope you are better soon When I read your post I was thinking of you getting the puppy and having to be able to run after her. You will just need to rest and be pampered for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Sounds painful . I was going to suggest icepacks - I've had a similar thing and although it was agony for the first day or so, it did actually heal quite quickly. Fingers crossed it's the same for you .

The Dogmother Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 The first 36 hours are painful, so take some anti-inflams if you are able to. It is important to keep it strapped and to keep moving the foot/calf through the whole range of movement to make sure that the muscle doesn't heal short or incorrectly. Use a crutch or stick if that helps. It's normally a sprinting injury caused by 'explosive' movement, which is how I first did it about 10 years ago... running the 100m mothers' race at school sports day; kind of embarrassing for someone who used to run 100m for the school at county level. I still have some scar tissue on that leg, it doesn't bother me too much but I no longer sprint. It can fully heal if you take care with it and some laser treatment helped mine the first time I did it. Hope it gets better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I pulled a muscle in my calf a year or so ago by stretching behind the sofa to pick something up . My whole calf turned bright red and hot and it was so painful and different from any other muscle pull I'd had I took myself off to A&E. They couldn't really explain why it had gone so red and hot so just treated it normally. It was a bit embarrassing explaining how I did it .

patsylabrador Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'm feeling massively guilty because when I heard three NATO soldiers had been shot I found myself hoping they weren't British and I know I feel worse because they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Got a nasty insect bite on my elbow yesterday walking in the wildflower meadows. It's itching like fury and absolutely burning hot. Driving me mad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Spit on it - no kidding, stops it itching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Really? Okay I'll give it a go - I'll have to go and wash my elbow first though as I think the spit will have a tough job getting through the inch thick layer of Germolene I have applied to (unsuccessfully) try and stop the itching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
