Surgery done and this is the progress at day 2, day 6 and day 7 post op. Few weeks of recovery but so far so good!! 🤞
Day 2 post surgery and spending my time like this!!!! Elevation is key (but it also stops the shooting pain down the nerve). Bandages off tonight 🙌🏻
All done and home!!! Waiting for anaesthetic to wear off and then the pain begins 😬🤕
Surgery time 😬🤞💉🏥
If anyone is interested! Good beer/ale, a gin bin with a huge selection of gin, lots of rugby (particularly on the Sunday) and lots of bands (all weekend)! Let’s hope the ☀️ decides to come back out!
Operation date confirmed for Wednesday 2nd May! I’m having one hand done and will go back for the other one at a later date! Will keep you all posted!
Today is the day ladies and gents!! Good Luck!!!!!!! And don’t try to beat John!!! 🏃♂️🏃♀️
♨️🏃♀️🏃♂️ For all my runners out there doing the London Marathon this weekend (and others if this hot weather continues) please be sensible in the heat.... here are my top 5 tips for running a hotter marathon:
1️⃣ DON’T GO FOR A PB THIS TIME!!!! Slow your pace slightly and aim to enjoy the race or you risk becoming very poorly 🤒 or not completing the run! After all that hard work and training you want to be able to finish! Remember this sudden change in temperature means you... haven’t had time to acclimatise.
2️⃣ KEEP HYDRATED 💧sipping water little and often!!! You will also sweat more 💦😰 so think about ELECTROLYTES and replenishing these during the run!
3️⃣ SUNCREAM!!! 👹 Hot and burnt skin will only make you hotter so waterproof high factor sun cream is essential!
4️⃣ Clothing - keep cool and maybe ditch the crazy, heavy and toasty costumes!
5️⃣ VASELINE!!!! Maybe take a small pot of Vaseline in your running belt to combat chaffing as this is a real problem when you sweat more and can be unbearable (I have been a victim of this in the past). Men be extra careful of the nipple region 😫. Might also be sensible to take a couple of EXTRA STICKY PLASTERS and/or blister plasters incase of any shoe rubbing.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!! 🙌🏻
