OK, OK, I admit it. I've been a right mardy cow today and there is no excuse for it. I have reached the place I thought I had reached weeks ago (but clearly I hadn't). I am finally at "Acceptance". I'm injured, and whilst a cortisone injection has moved me on leaps and bounds, it hasn't been a magic wand waved and I am still in a position where I won't be running 15 miles next Saturday.... maybe the Saturday after though eh? ;-) He he... all kidding aside, I am injured and on the bench but I'm recovering!
Tonight I had an appointment at the doctors to ask for something stronger by way of anti inflammatories than ibuprofen. He asked me did I know of anything I had used in the past that I thought would help and I couldn't resist the temptation to ask for Indomecitin. Those tablets are like magic pills and have always worked wonders for injuries before... only thing is, I always steal them from Graeme and so can only ever have one a day. I always chose to have them at night as they are so strong they make me feel dizzy (although after a few days this doesn't happen anymore). Graeme doesn't get them now as he doesn't need them, so I have not been able to take them for the neuroma.
Expecting to be told I couldn't have them, I was chuffed as the doctor nodded and said, "One tablet 3 times a day... a months supply".
Excellent! That's what you call a result! Only thing is, I hope they aren't like somebody elses chips! I am referring to the fact that you can see a friend with a bag of chips and they smell amazing. You taste one and it is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, it isn't greasy at all and it has just the right amount of salt, and before you know it, you're at the chip shop buying yourself a bag. Only thing is... they aren't as nice as your friends!
So, here's hoping my magic pills are just that and they work as well as they have done when they weren't mine! :-)
