It was mum's 60th birthday yesterday.

She had a great day. She got loads of pressies, cards, cake, flowers, wine and choccies. She has been forcing the choccies on me and sis and I am stuffed.

The neighbour put up a 60 today poster on the door. The flower delivery person came at a little after 7 in the morning and I think she could tell from the look on my face that I'm not a morning person.

She got to use her OAP bus pass for the first time and I have taken the piss so much I have run out of old people jokes.

I LOVE YOU MUM XXXXXXXX

I'm back from London. Leg is very slowly on the mend. I went back to the gym today but stayed clear of the treadmill.

It went well with occupational health. I was in there for less than 10 mins. I went all the way to London for that. Anyway, I have a new date for my fitness test. Fingers crossed for that one.

I'm feeling a lot better. I was at the doctors today and the nurse changed my dressing. It's not hurting as much but I'm still only able to walk tentatively. I am still having to keep it dry but it's stopped weeping it's at the very first stages of healing but damn it's taken a week and a half to get to this stage.

I have been on the phone to the appropriate people and will get another date for the fitness test. I am still off down to London on Weds till Sat (cos I'd booked my coach ticket thinking I'd be doing the test on Friday) as I have to see occupational health on Thursday and take my doctors note to them and have their nurses see me to see when I will be fit to re-do the test.

Wish me luck peeps.

I'm such an idiot. I've had a gym accident which has put my last week and half of training out the window. I was there on Friday and I was on the treadmill. I was listening to my MP3 and merrily jogging along nicely. Then suddenly my MP3 was ripped away from me. I still don't know what happened. I didn't catch it on anything and it was firmly in place. It was ripped away with such force and it is a mystery what happened. Anyway, I was like WTF! and in the second it took me to whip my head round to see what had happened, I went flying. I was dragged along on the treadmill and it took all the skin off my wrist and a huge chunk is missing from my thigh. I'm in so much pain, it is like a super serious burn. I look like I've been attacked my a shark. I am bruised all over, my elbow is cut bad but healing fast luckily. I am in my pj's most of the time cos I can't really walk. It's very bad.

Anyway, If it doesn't look like I'm gonna be able to do the fitness test, I'll have to get a Dr's note. I'm sure they will let me postpone it. If only it would start to scab it'd be better. It's just an open weeping wound and I don't really know what to do for the best.

So, that's my woes.
