&*(^%$ $ Leg

Don't know if i told you i hurt my leg at agility 2 weeks ago, i am sure i did, we had almost two full weeks off, so i thought it was doing pretty good and x rays didn't show anything so took the dogs to agility yesterday, was warming Dixie up, and hurt it again... instant pain and a pop...then that was that, i could hardly walk...i did try to run Dixie, but just couldn't, lucky for me, my instructor stepped in and ran them both for me...I could hardly walk when i got home, but fed the sheep and the dogs, but of course as the nite worn on, i could hardly move... the first step is always the hardest, then i hobble around... went to bed at 11, and i just couldn't get settled, i was floppy around like a whale trying to get comfy...ended up moving out on to the couch, and finally stealing one of L 'T3'... finally settle down enough for me to get some sleep... I am off to Langley today, i have a Dr appt tomorrow, i had planned on staying till Wednesday, but we just found out that L has to go to "occupational therapy" for his leg for the next 6 weeks, and he starts on Tuesday, so i will come home on Tuesday, as it really isn't fair that he get up at 5, have breakfast, feed sheep, let the dogs run, then tie them up, and be in Kamloops by 8 am..and then come home and do the same again, and make his own supper...i sure would like it if life started working out for us...i hurt so bad last night that i didn't get the laundry finished or my suitcase packed, so am waiting for the dryer and will finish packing.. Guess i will call Dr when i am at the coast, and make an appt for when i get home on Tuesday or Wednesday..there is a major agility trial the first weekend in June that i really wanted to go too, so i have a month to get better before the entries close...why does life get in the way of my fun...
I will be at the spring retreat at Cache creek if i have to be there in a wheelchair.... i can still spin...darn it anyway.... I know i am a whiner, but i don't get hurt very often, and i don't like PAIN.......... will write again when i get home from Langley.... S

Get thee to a doctor!! You may have torn a ligament & if that's the case you ain't going anywhere you have to run!! Isn't there ANYONE around who can feed & water the critters for a week or so???? Whatever happened to indentured slaves???
And how come L can't do the chores for one day??? Grrrrrr

hi sheila! sounds like you and i have had the week of pain! i put my back out, and i've had a bad cold too, so have spent most of spring break in bed and going back and forth to the chiropractor. what a waste of a holiday week! i'm suppposed to be doing report cards right now, but am frittering away time doing anything but! back to school tomorrow, i'm not relaxed enough. i need another week. oh well, the countdown to the end of the year starts now. it'll all be over before i know it.
take care of your leg,and see a doctor soon. hugs to all. Donna

I'm with Sharon - go see a doctor sooner rather than later. If it hurts that much chances are you did something fairly serious to yourself. At least you can get your own prescription for painkillers!
