sorry to hear about your accident ...hope you get well soon ...chuck the flip flops in the bin ..norty flip flops taking you from us!!!

Take care and get well soon.
If it doesn't improve quickly it might be worth going to a sports masseur/se to help relax it.

We'll keep DW warm for you for when you're better

Back already??

I hurt my back this morning doing some exercises
Fancy falling off your flip-flops- what are you like woman
Get Dave to get you one of those Massager thingies from Boots that vibrate and have infra red on too because they are brilliant for backs and muscle pain and knees as well It certainly does the trick with my back and knees. I had mine for a surprise Christmas pressie and I thought 'How romantic can this man get' but it has certainly come in useful quite a few times

Ibuprofen is also good for back pain as well although some people can't take them because they can give you bad stomachs I believe.

ouch helena hope u get better soon

Hurry up back Helena

OMG Helen - it's been over 7 hours since we last heard from you Didn't think you could last this long seriously are you okay? It's been a while

Hard to get used to not having you around to banter with...


Come back soon

Hurry back Helen :smt016

oh im so sorry, gonna miss ya, get well soon hun! xxx

Well I'm back!!! Not for long though, only sneaked on here for a quick "fix" whilst I got up to get something to eat (still typing on my knees!) It is a lot better today though after using the Ibuprofen gel on it and resting it! Which is very hard for me coz I'm like a whirlwind and can't stay still for long. So I have decided to lie down on my bed all day (if I can bear it) as I can't sit on a chair and even walking around hurts now, but after resting on the bed I can walk for an hour or so. I know how I did it now thinking back, I lifted the heavy dustbin and turned round to put it in the road without moving my feet, so I lifted and twisted, but that was after I fell off my flip flops, so I had a double whammy!

Thanks for all your lovely messages of concern for me, but at least you will be able to get a word in now with me out of the way won't you! I think I will be all better tomorrow, so watch out I'll be back posting like mad!x

hope you are feeling better soon Helena
