Update on bollard gate....
Sister came over yesterday evening and dragged my ass off to A+E as she suspected it was broken :eek:
Decided on Galway Clinic as traffic would be better as Connaught were doing the business that evening
and it was handier all round
Arrived up, very fast up there BTW, Took a few details, over here for review, down to x ray, quick review, pills , chat, out the door..... take all my money, out the door.... Luckily they gave me a few pills before taking my money
When the sister came over she more or less said it wasn't great more than likely broken(she works in healthcare), and when we arrived up there the nurse who attended first was of the same opinion. X ray came back with no apparent break but doc said it would be reviewed by radiologist? today and they would ring back if anything more serious. No phone call so happy out. Still stuck in a splint and sling for couple of days
Ribs a bit sore this morning as well but I'm not telling the sister that or she might clean my bank account with another trip to A+E 0 -

Get well soon Marty
Ha ha sound S...
I remember my schooldays as a Jeshead and the 'rivalry' we had with those Bish lads. Be it rugby or rowing was it!!! It never came to blows though, actually, I think the rivalry thing was all made up as a lot of good friendships were made....
The biggest mistake of my youth was starting to smoke, and even my close friend wouldn't know this but another big regret was giving up rowing even though I was only at it a couple of years... Love the water....0 -
Ya ya a "friend" looking for a tricycle and romantic notions about the water. I'm afraid it could be too late for you!
Same with the cigs, and the drink too if I'm honest. You seem to be reversing the effects quite nicely though so there's hope for me yet.
By the way try sending your clinic bill to Allianz with a letter starting: "Howya, who's the genius hiding bollards in Galway". Something that might lighten the recovery 0 -

POINT 1 Ya got it all wrong buddy I'l probably never go that side as I can hardly tread water. It's like I'm doing a 10k race if you were to look underwater
POINT 2 One of the best things I've read/seen as I gave up the cigs was something not actually directed at me. He made a general statement(facebook) along the lines of "its amazing how quickly times/the body improves, by just getting out there on a regular basis... This was at the time I started running and Ecolii signiture rings true, consistency is key..
Look at a few other posters for more motivation..
POINT 3 Mention the codename "TbL" and they will have a file the length of your arm
With LAYLA with work. When I was going in, I couldn't find my policy number for life nor money.. After all the ****e they send, and the little cleaning I do, I managed to throw all the necessary information out 0 -

Hi SfM, ribs just a bit tender but more concerned with arm/wrist. Not much improvement if any so will look to get it looked at again tomorrow maybe. Really want to get it sorted and get back to some proper training, time is ticking 0 -

Maybe you should ring clinic to check if they read the x ray since. My OH s niece was sent home from Castlebar with a wrist injury and they rang 2 weeks later to say the X-Ray had been reviewed and it was broken! Hope you re on the mend soon.0 -

Had enough sitting on my arse so left splint on under long sleeve top and headed out for some easy running on the QT...
Felt a little pressure in the arm, nothing sinister, just an increase in bloodflow I think.
Didn't go for the pitches, just did a little loop around the neighbourhood. Felt tougher than is should of, but by God, it was good to be out there 0 -

So, still getting out a bit which is not to bad. Due back to hospital in morning for more
x rays analysis but something's still not right I feel. Hopefully they will get to the problem tomorrow. Almost 2 weeks now
On the running front, I'm happy to be getting out for a few miles even though its steady enough and no real speed lately. Started doing a few miles on a local road with few rolling hills just to vary effort a little...0 -
Tuesday 13/01/2015 5 miles @ 8:30
Headed to the pitches with the headtorch for this one, roads/paths to slippery. Going was good to sort which was a better alternative to the roads
Wanted to go a tad slower but pace kept trying to increase, really had to watch it to keep it fairly reasonable.
On the injury front, I'm feeling a bit more positive. Up to A+E today for a review on the situation and had a good chat with the doc. The result is no break and he putting it down to bruised bone/tendons and gave me the low down. Going to try to use it a bit more, manipulate it in every direction and a few more exercises for the evenings, if it's not core work its hand twisting
Still a bit swollen, still sore at times but gonna try get on with it and hope for the best.
Doc was actually into his running and had a good chat about local events, he even gave me the go ahead to run with it, I didn't even have to ask(I wasn't going to ask anyways, one way of avoiding being told not to )..
Oh, and no work for another week......0 -

It's kinda like that alright If I wasn't so paranoid about my eyesight after hitting the bollard, I might of had a go at night time trail running or something 0 -
Friday 16/01/2015 8 miles @ 8:47 (8* 1/2 mile)
OK, so though it was about time to try and put a bit of pace back into
the legs. I didn't want anything to specific pace wise just in case I got disheartened
and gave up.
Set the garmin for a 1.5 mile warm up, 8* half mile with 2 min walk in between, then a cool down. I just went with the idea of running at a decent pace and see how it goes.
6:36, 6:08, 6:28, 6:26, 6:10, 6:44, 6:40, 6:22
Was a shock to the legs/body running this kind of pace and found it tough at times. The walk recovery was good, and felt reasonably recovered by the start of the next rep(had my breath back anyway). Not to concerned with the pace range there either considering I wasn't monitoring pace at all and my pacing is bad anyways
I was pretty tired after it but by the time I finished the 2 mile cool down all was grand...
Happy enough all in all 0 -
