OMG! Hubby fell out of a tree......
but he's mostly ok!!!!!
Poor hubby took a tumble, he's really hurt is knee but won't let me take him for x-ray. Bless him he was trying to hang my new lantern in a tree, lost his grip and down he went. He somehow managed to avoid banging his head on the deck but sort of twisted awkwardly and ended up underneath the deck on his back. He lay there in agony, winded while I had visions of pushing him about in a wheelchair for ever; I really thought he must have broken his back
So although he's still in a lot of pain, I reckon he's got off lightly.
Blimey, really made me think how in an instant lives can be changed. One foolish decision and that's it wham! We are counting our blessing tonight that's for sure.
Dietwise? Yeah that's fine (like it matters?) still trundling along, feel very much in the zone. Even went to the chippy to collect an order and hugged hot bags of fish & chips all the way back to the beach hut....not even tempted
Dropped another 1lb so that's 9lb since Sunday
Night night & be careful out there you never know what's about to happen!

Sorry to hear aobut the accident. Make sure if he is still in pain to take him for a check up. My OH fell out of a tree some years ago and hurt himself badly. I still remember the daily visits to the hospital for new dressings as he cut himself and still has the scars

Hi Cheb,
He is very lucky!!!
Hope his knee is alright!
Time like this you can be tempted to eat, especially carrying yummy smelling fish 'n' chips in your arms...now that is will power!
Well done on your 9lbs. loss, great to seeing the weight coming off again!
Well done:clap:
Love Mini xxx

DH is hobbling along nicely now with the help of a stick, very stylish accessory don't you know! His knee is the size of a balloon and is very colourful. He's being very brave and feeling very foolish for having climbed the tree!
Had a barbie last night, lovely summers evening. Good company, good food, good drink and plenty of laughter. My good food and good drink consisted of a choc orang bar and plenty of posh fizzy water! Feeling empowered this morning and definitely 'in the zone'
Have now dropped 10lb and starting to feel flatter around the middle again, I'm on a roll.........

Hey Cheb, has your hubby been to the hospital......he could have done some damage to his knee..... my ex was crushed under cages and was in agony....but he would not be seen he is still suffering 2 years later and the drs told him if he had gotten treatment when it happened he would not still be suffering

Mmmm, no stupid stubborn man insists that they'll only tell him to rest and that there's nothing that can be done:sigh: Thing is, he does have a weakness with his knees from a football injury many years ago and his kneecap does 'pop out' from time to time. When it happens he sometime limps for a day or two but then is fine. This time is very different, it's balck and blue with bruises and really swollen and he can't bear weight on it at all but will he listen?????
MEN!!!!

Tell him my ex still has pain from an injury......when I did finally talk him into seeing the dr......he had a collection of blood and fluid round his knee, he has to have it drained. He was told he could have had treatment which may have prevented this.......!
You really shouldnt play about with knees especially if he has had previous trouble.
Hope you can talk some sense into him

Morning,
Mmmm, well came a cropper last night when I found myself with a tiny piece of chocolate cheesecake in my mouth.....and then another tiny bitesize piece......and then another:sigh:
Line drawn and a fresh day has dawned but WHY, WHY, WHY do I sabotage myself?????????
Feel bloated and puffed up today, rings feel tight, now is that the cheesecake or too little water yesterday.......probably the lack of water led to the cheesecake
So, must keep busy and away from the kitchen. Just going to give the dog a good brush before we go to the vet, him not me! Just a final (hopefully) check for a skin condition.
Not sure what else we'll do, probably a bike ride with DS, maybe we'll go to the seafront and spend a £ in the 2p machines
Also need to cut the grass, tidy my bedroom (can't moan at DD when my own room is a sty!), sweep the drive, hang the roll of wallpaper in the loo........
Catch you later, be good.....

Ok, so today has been hard, I'm not in the zone but fighting my way back there!
I have managed to get DH to the hospital and it's not sounding too good. He was up there for 5 hours as the dr on duty wanted him to be seen by the orthopaedic doc. They all scratched their heads over the x ray and decided that 'something is missing' He has to go back tomorrow to the fracture clinic to see someone higher up the pecking order. Surgery has been mentioned. Trying not too panic too much but not sure if he'd be paid if off work for any length of time so we could be seriously financially screwed, and that's before I even begin to ley myself worry about long term health/fitness effects. I am a worrier

Hi
Funny day today, with ups and downs.
DH went off to the hospital again and it seems that his broken the top off his Tibia and chipped his kneecap, no wonder it hurt! In a cast for 5 weeks and told to rest....plans to be back in work on Monday:sigh: STUBBORN MEN!
On a positive note I took DS to Legoland for a long promised day out. It was absolutely packed and the queues were horrendous. Nevertheless we had a lovely day. I struggled to resist eating.....licquorice Allsorts were yelling at me but I turned a deaf ear and joined another queue instead
Just having my last pack before heading up to bed, hope I feel back in the zone tomorrow.

Feeling ok and seem to be back in the zone now Weight hasn't dropped for a few days but I'm hoping for a woosh any day now.
Off to the hairdressers soon, I'm having my hair chopped It's quite long and kind of hippified in fact if I'm honest it's a scruffy mess! I'm going to have it cut into a sleek bob, hoping I'll look more sophisticated reckon I've done the hippy chick for long enough now and I should look more like a grown up! I'm quite scared.....will let you know later if I'm pleased with it. I'll have to change my signature pics.

Had my hair cut on Friday, really pleased with how it looks, promise it looks better than my Meez pic, doesn't look like a helmet head honest!
DH is still in a lot pain with his leg but the swelling has gone down a bit. It's yellow now rather than black and purple so I guess it must be healing. He's off work til Tuesday now, not sure how he'll manage even to get there. Usually he drives but that's not possible so he'll go by train but has to change and there's loads of stairs, we've arranged for someone to meet him and escort him via lifts (a disabled access route) he could have been met with a wheelchair but he won't Bloody stubborn man!
Went back to work yesterday after 2 weeks holiday, it was ok; fairly quiet so it broke me in gently.
Went out to Supergrans last night, no babysitter so DH had to stay home We had a ball, played on the Wii and then karaoke on the playstation. Don't think I'll be auditioning for the X factor just yet Didn't get home until 3.30, the birds were just getting up! I reckon I'm too old these days cos I'm knackered this morning!
Ds wants to head off to The Science Centre today, I'll try to drum up the energy to drive there and then I'll sit on a bench and doze while he goes off with his friend to learn science stuff! Hope I did sleep with my mouth open and start to dribble!
Enjoy your Sunday.
