The Annual Blindside

[faustus]

There is usually some unexpected disaster on the first day of term that throws me - and this year it is a pulled muscle from Saturday's walk. I can walk - after a fashion - and it is better than yesterday, but it definitely doesn't want to bend properly. I've applied a spray, and ointment and taken antihistamines and paracetemol and am trying to keep it raised.

Am seeing the doctor tomorrow.


I always said exercise was bad for you.

Ouch. Sympathies. I generally take ibuprofen for muscular things, but the main thing is to get enough pain relief to function (gently!).

I have an ibuprofen gel I've used.

It's eased enough so I can almost climb stairs with both legs but I'm tempted to cancel Thursday's teaching.
