Nina broke her foot!

Well after Tae Kwon Doe last Thursday, Nina was madly practicing for her next belt and saved herself from falling, but broke her foot. She was feeling very sad and sorry for herself on Thursday night. On Friday, I took the day off and we saw Doctors and got X-rays and stuff. She'll be on crutches for 4 weeks and is wearing a plaster over the back of her foot right now. We wake 30 minutes early each day to dress and get her to school on time. It's pretty full on.

As for my fainting the other night, no-one really knows what it is and I'm too scared to get into that stretching position again. I haven't fainted since then so that's probably a good omen.

I saw the physio today and it was amazing- after he cracked my spine I could turn my head further on each side and I could describe an arc with my arm- I only moved my shoulder forward a little to do it. It would be wonderful if by working through each issue with the relevant person, that I could do stuff again. I really miss the gym and kayaking and riding my bike. I found out yesterday that there's a club for kayaking in the ocean. I'd love to give them a go and I can't wait to be well enough to use my little kayak again. Its funny because when I think about it, canoeing was a dangerous activity. But it's so much fun that's its unbelievable and I always used to be so confident that I could get out of any sticky situation I got into- anyway, maybe this summer I can kayak again!

I see my orthaepedic surgeon next week and he'll decide whether to operate on my shoulder or not. I think I am going to have to choose between range of movement or endurance. Oh well, I guess I cross that bridge when I come to it.
