Bev - Round 2

[Zenaworrier]

Wow all that badminton Bev! What a fab hobby to have! Hope your knee improves x

 

[summergurl]

Look after that knee bev! R.i.c.e will do it a world of good even if you don't think your knee is much of a problem at the minute. Best to nip it in the bud x

Oh, look after your poor knee. Hopefully it won't interfere with your next match.

Lovely to have time off as you say. I have to accumulate 9 hours for a night off though and that's not easy. I can't have a half night or a couple of hours here and there - I'm either in or I'm not!

Hope the badminton goes well tomorrow - lots of luck and hope your knee's okay xx

 

[MiniB]

Thanks everyone. My knee's a lot better today, no problems at all. Really looking forward to match tonight, no pressure, any games won will be a really good result.

Can't wait to finish work today to have 4 days off! Lovely. Hubby's birthday tomorrow too so a nice weekend ahead.

My youngest daughter is off to a charity man auction tonight! God knows who she'll "buy"! Bit of fun for them though.

Hope everyone has a really good weekend and I will be back online next wednesday I expect.

 

[kered]

Oooh love the idea of the charity man show..........could buy a few I suppose lol.

Have a lovely weekend celebrating Hubbys Birthday xx

 

[summergurl]

Happy birthday to hubby. Hope you have a brill weekend x

Back after my long weekend off work and had a nice time off. The match on friday night was good, we lost 6-3 but that was a good result for us really. We won all 3 ladies' games, it was the men that let us down (haha). My knee was really playing up at the weekend though so have decided to give badminton a miss for a couple of weeks and see if that helps. It gets swollen and feels really stiff. I think the break will do it good.

Went out for hubby's birthday and then did karaoke. He had a really good day. He kept telling everybody he was 21 (doubled!).

Went shopping with both daughters to Truro on Monday, which was really nice. Didn't buy loads but don't need to as I am pretty much sorted now. Had a lay in yesterday and then did some wrapping. Didn't enjoy it much so didn't do as much as I thought I would.

Food's been out the window this weekend but I will be pulling that back in as from today. Hope everyone had a good weekend, about to catch up with all the threads.

Good idea to skip the badminton for a wee while to get the knee properly rested Bev, otherwise you might cause some damage.

Glad Hubby had a good time at his karaoke night

 

[JanD]

Gosh that went quick Bev! Hope your knee is soon improved xx

 

[summergurl]

Defo keep off that knee Bev. Nothing worse than a knee injury!
Glad you and hubby had a lovely weekend for his birthday and well done to you women winning your games! xx

 

[irish molly]

What a pity to pick up sn injury when badminton is going well. Hope you'll be back to it soon. Elevate your leg when you can and ice it for ten minute intervals.

 

[MiniB]

Thankyou all.

Walked in after work last night and my knee was playing up doing that too. Will definitely not be going badminton for a couple of weeks now. I do elevate my leg and ice it too, it really does help.

Went to morrisons after work last night and got my secret santa pressie for work. I picked a really easy person to buy for so no problems deciding what to get her.

Can't believe it's 1st December today, where has that year gone?? It's really flown by. Advent calendars everyone?

 

[summergurl]

Ooooh advent calendars!!! It's the first thing I did when I got out of bed :giggle:

v.good idea to stay off the knee. What sort of pain is it Bev? xx

 

[MiniB]

The problem with my knee is it gets quite swollen and just the pressure of walking on it hurts. Every now and then I get a sharp pain (it feels as though it's going to pop out or dislocate or something!!) and it takes my breath away. That's when it's at its worst. It's much today though after no club last night. The swelling's really gone down too. May give it until after Xmas and see how it is then.

Walked in last night and my knee wasn't so bad. It's slowly getting better. Bit colder down here yesterday and today, feeling like December now.

Me and hubby stopping for a coffee after work and then picking up a takeaway, lovely. Got another long weekend coming up, not back to work until Tuesday.

 

[summergurl]

Get your knee checked out pronto bev!!!!! Sounds nasty.
Have a lovely weekend. Where you stopping for coffee? You going to have a christmasy coffee? xx

 

[Zenaworrier]

Oh Bev that does sound nasty. Make sure you rest lots and have a lovely weekend x

 

[JanD]

Look after that knee Bev - shame it's restricting your badminton but you're very wise to give it a miss.
Hope you enjoyed your takeaway x

 

[kered]

I agree you should get that knee checked out Bev, just to avoid any long term damage.

 

[MiniB]

Thanks for all the advice ladies, much appreciated as always.

My knee is much better for resting and icing it. I think I may leave badminton now til the new year. Really don't want to make it worse.

Went to a local nice pub for our coffee after work on Friday and then next door for a chinese takeaway. It was lovely. The pub was really quiet but all decorated and it was really nice. We will definitely be going back there for their coffee, it was lovely. Takeaway was lovely too.

Enjoyed my extra day off yesterday, nearly finished off my wrapping. So glad that's done, not enjoyed it this year at all. Had a nice relaxing day, no more off now until the xmas so not long really. I have 5 days off over xmas this year, I much prefer to have the whole week off but things being as they are, I don't think many businesses can afford to shut for over a week now.

Hope everyone had a good weekend, off to catch up on all the threads now.
