Aww, Karmacat, what an awful day you had. So sorry you had to miss a planned treat, you really deserved one. Will you be able to reschedule your birthday meal, it's such a busy time of year for everyone?

Thank you honey! We won't be able to re-schedule in the same way, no ... I'll see my sister a couple of times over the next few weeks, though, and the young couple who came down from London have offered open house on a day of my choosing
so I choose end of January
Interesting tip - the pub lunch place was less than half full - everyone's out shopping at this stageso you know what to do next year.
It was a bad day, I confess - but the bloodied trousers have been through the washing machine :eek: the knee has stabilised, and after the initial immune rush, I think its a good stage to start taking anti-inflammatories again; plus reiki, lots of veg, lots of supplements, and a half hour walk in the fresh air. Will finally book a doctor's appt too - "lack of energy" is too woolly for a doc to get their head around, but to say "I couldn't cope with a 6 hour level 1 reiki training day" is specific enough to give them ideas.
Christmas present shopping is done, btw, and half the wrapping is done too, both of which astound me :beer: The loss of the celebration yesterday is upsetting, but its the final straw in knowing that I have to sort this all out, as soon as I can.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

Oh no, I'm really sorry to hear that you've been having such a bad time of it over the last couple of days, and to miss a celebratory meal as well, that is so disappointing.
The vertigo is rotten, when I had it in the summer all I could do was lie down until it passed.
Totally agree with your approach, to let yourself heal, but a trip to the docs sounds like a good idea
Hope you are having a nice early night, which is what I should be doing, especially as I've been out for the day.Early retired - 18th December 2014

So sorry to hear about your fall Karma and such a shame to miss your birthday meal. I hope the knee is healing and you've gotten over the shock.
