No No No No No!
Car crash Thursday afternoon. Been shunted in my tiny car by a big 4 x4. Neck sprain, shoulder sprain and Mild Concussion. Feel dizzy and sick, stiff and sore.
I was taken in an ambulance to A and E. Doctor says no training. So that means I lose my long cycle this weekend.
Woke up in the night feeling dizzy and felt like I was going to vomit.
Friday passes in a blur. I feel so confused. I keep repeating myself. Tried to make dinner. It took 2 hours to make mac cheese. I kept looking at the pasta and not knowing quite what to do with it. This sucks.
Saturday. Stupid me. Made Ross take me grocery shopping. Mistake: headache, dizzy, tired and sore. I walked round Aldi with a bag of frozen sweetcorn on my shoulders and neck trying to ease the pain. I had to get him to bring me home and got back into bed. Slept for 5 hours. Then, while he was out on a training cycle with Andy, I had to get the dinner. It took me 2 1/2 hours to make a frittata. All I had to do was fry some bacon and onion, boil some chopped spuds, put them in a pan and pour egg over it, bake it and open a bag of salad. I am so slow. I shall regard this as training for the race when I have been without sleep for 24 hours and more. Meanwhile Ross feels off colour. He normally eats up the cycling and today felt like rubbish.
Sunday, really wanted to go to church. It was good to go but really should avoid loud noises with concussion... went home and made everyone a sandwich. Tried to correct my sister's theology degree essay. Had to sleep. When I woke up I had another dizzy spell. William did a 35 km training cycle after work. Unfortunately he came off his bike....nasty graze and stiff shoulder. What is going on with this family?!
Monday. I want to train. Too dizzy. I have had to pull out of the Randonee. Gutted.
Tuesday: Dizzy but I am really hoping and praying to run tomorrow. I have missed 3 training sessions now.
Determined to get back into it.
