Thanks, doctor

So pretty

Ow

My arm and hand are still mostly numb from the nerve block.

Starting to feel pain already.

Kinda feels like really bad period pains but in my wrist. Not really looking forward to the pain when it completely wears off.

I've taken painkillers already too.

I also have an itch under all the bandages. Great.

I've eaten so much the last few days. Need to just not.

Things are better

I feel much better than a few days ago.

Venting helped. A lot.

I have one regular reader (that I know of, hi Nikki!) and I think a lot of people that stumble across my blog read a bit and then never return.

I'm boring, I know. Sorreeeeeee.

Side note: if you do read, please comment once in a while. I'd love to talk to random faceless internet people. Not that I'm a creeper or anything. Or am I?

Anyway, just venting to practically no-one on the internet let me get it out of my system and I started feeling a bit better within a few hours.

My job is running a bit more smoothly, I'm not stressing as much and the time is starting to pass quicker. That's always good.

I still haven't run yet (it's been nearly 2 weeks... JEEZ) but I'm hoping to squeeze one in before my impending surgery (of doom?).

I'm getting some more blood taken tomorrow before surgery. It's on Tuesday. That's come around so quickly!

I'm not scared right now but I'm sure I will be when I'm actually there. Cue fabulous pictures from a hospital bed. You bet I'm gonna take some selfies.

Here's one from the Almighty Leg Fiasco of 2008:


Maybe I'll write about that injury one day. I still regret not being super weird and asking someone to take a picture of my backwards-hanging foot.

Imagine it.

Horrendous.

The weather is lovely today

I didn't go to sleep until 7.30am and I just woke up. 

Might take a walk in the park. 

Blah. 

Hopefully I'll be able to start running again next week. 

Next race is in April. 

I wonder how I'm going to negotiate running while my wrist is healing. I guess it depends how much my arm hurts! I might just have to go super slow and long. I dunno...

I can't do anything for the first 2 weeks so I'll probably take a few long walks to attempt to compensate.

1 week and a few days till surgery. Eep. It's come around really quick. 
 
It's also a bummer that I've been ill because my friends are having a party tonight and I haven't seen them since before Christmas. 

Rubbish, rubbish. 

Oh well, I'll see them next weekend so it's not too bad. 

Gonna weigh myself, put everyone's stuff in the spreadsheet and have a shower. 

I lead such an exciting life. 

Posts will get more interesting commencing... (?)
