Welcome to blog! I started it in 2020 to chart my recovery from breaking my ankle (hence the name). I guess no-one saw a global pandemic coming. It's turned into a place where I can talk about the things happening in my life, my horse and my cats. Enjoy!
I have to admit, I was feeling a little discombobulated today. It was my first peopling in the new clinic. It was also my first Wednesday peopling. My lovely Chiro has asked if I would switch my Fridays to Wednesdays. That was easy to do.
Coming into the city on a Wednesday was considerably busier than a Friday. Plus I had to get to the new clinic and squeeze The Upgrade into the tiny car park.
I was a little apprehensive about it last night. I needn’t have worried. The clients today were very pleased to see me.
The clinic is still a bit chaotic. But all of the things I needed were there so all good.
I have to admit, I was having a lot of flashbacks to when I worked in the building. It’s been redecorated since then. Still find it so funny that I used to work there 20 years ago. I also find it slightly terrifying that I’ve lived in Norfolk for 20 years! Time really does fly…
So 2020 was going to be my year. The year I got my life sorted after being served redundancy notice from my job in November 2019. The year I ticked off more things from my horsey bucket list. The year I got my mental health back under control and reduced stress in my life.
I had a plan. And it was a good one. Then the plan changed dramatically on 2 January. I came off my horse at speed and broke my ankle. Badly. Like all good equestrians, I got back on and rode back to the yard, sorted Buddy out and then drove myself to A&E. That’s where this journey really began...
I was sent home from A&E and told to crack on, only to receive a phone call later to say they’d missed a fracture (and a rather serious one at that). Whoops! So fracture clinic on 3 January, surgery on 5 January and home to recover.
I started this blog as a way to chart my recover back to the saddle. As I cleared clinics and competitions out of my diary and wondered what the next few months would bring, it's been a safe space for me to say how I'm feeling.
The new plan was to get a new job, to keep Buddy is kept ticking over and recover from my injury. Another good plan! I didn't expect a global pandemic, lockdown and all that happened in 2020.
This blog has changed over time but it's continued to be my safe space to share the things going on in my life, with Buddy and the cats. Enjoy!
