Stupid.

Now this is really stupid, and I don't have time for shenanigans like this!

I'm in the living room on the couch recliner....with my right leg on ice. :c( I was going down the stairs, stepped down, and something in my right calf went OWWWWWWWWW!!!!

I've been having trouble with it lately, lots of jog/walking...but I stretch. I told my massage therapist about it, and we did some deep tissue on it last week before going to Colorado. It felt fine.

Then this. Yesterday I felt tightness in my calf....but stretching helped.

So here I sit...leg on ice...unable to reach my other computer downstairs where the other colorado pics are, waiting to see if there is more that I need to do with this non-functional leg or just wait it out.

I am heading to Smithfield VA on Thurs for classes on Thurs & Fri at the Sewing/Quilting Expo! This is NOT going to keep me from going!

It might slow me down a bit...but...the show must go on!

  1. Listen to your body, stay down and off it. Been there and it takes a while to heal. Ask for a stool to sit on if possible at the Expo, and then use it! We need you healthy.

  3. So sorry to hear about your bum leg. Keep the ice on and plenty of ibuprofen. Get that handwork out and enjoy. Sandi

  4. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate...sounds like massive muscle cramps. Get some new shoes maybe yours are straining your calf muscle.
    Ha! the Rocky Mountain High got you! Poor Bonnie...rest your body.

  5. I get those "charlie horses" in the night sometimes. That's what my father called them and he said to drink more milk. Darn "CHARLIE"
    I also have tried stepping down on cold concrete or pointing my toe to stop them. I can relate! Hope the ice works and you are off and running again. Love the beautiful Colorado scenery.

  9. Just so long as you haven't ruptured or torn your Achilles tendon, OR a DVT (blood clot)in your calf. from sitting on long flights etc.

    Maybe a check out by physician if you don't improve soon.

  10. Get it checked...you have good health insurance right? So use it when you need it. Hey, as my Dr. says
    "you're not a kid anymore".
    Good luck, I do hope it is nothing serious. Safe travels.

    Happy Sewing

  18. Sending good thoughts -- and I hope you get it checked out. Sometimes our body is telling us to go to the doctor.

  19. Know how you feel - I missed a step on my deck in June and broke my right ankle. I ended up having surgery, splints, cast etc. and now physical therapy. The worst part was I couldn't drive for such a long time. Get well soon and keep the ice handy.
