Sometimes life throws you a curve ball. Mine came while fencing at the National Champs in Christchurch, in the women's teams gold medal match, I was fencing the Commonwealth champion, we were in the lead when...SNAP...good bye Achilles tendon.
An operation and an enormous plaster cast later I find my self laid up for the next 6 weeks, and then the long road of rehab.
So what am I going to do for all that time, going stir crazy on the sofa, not being allowed to be up and about? Got a few ideas and they involve a lot of catching up on reading, and writing (woohoo - perfect opportunity to concentrate on the new novel) and some blogging. I know I've been very slack of late, life has been insanely busy, but I now find myself forced to slow down and given a chance to catch up on a few things I have neglected.
Pretty dramatic way of getting a break!

Oh, Vanda, I am sorry to hear about your injury. I hope you heal quickly.
Sorry to hear of your injury. It must be frustrating to be laid up. But what an excuse to read and write all day!!
I hope you have a speedy recovery. :)
Thank you ladies. A friend and I listed the positives of all this and there were plenty (-:
