It never rains ... won't see you Saturday :-(

[liziJ]

Hi all - just a quickie to say that very unfortunately I won't be seeing some of you tomorrow after all. We had a car accident earlier - rear-end shunted by a van. Everyone seems basically OK but I've got a lot of back-pain, headache, blah blah blah, so just off to A&E now.

I can't imagine we'll be home until the early hours, and if my pain is anything like this I definitely won't be up to coming out.

Very disappointed - hope those of you who are going have a great day, and hope to have another chance to meet up soon.

John S, would you let John D and Hilary know why I'm not there, as they'll be expecting to see me. Thanks.

Oh Lizi, I'm so sorry, what a horrible thing to happen. You'll be very much missed tomorrow, but I am sure that the wise thing is for you to rest up. I hope the twins and your husband are all ok and that A&E isn't too bad for you.

Quick update - in and out of hospital in 2 hours which was great. Doctor said we've both got typical whiplash injuries and sent us away with codeine. Off to bed now!

Hi Liz
I hope your both feeling better today, whiplash isn't very nice and that must be a record in and out of A&E in 2 hours

Morning Lizi,
Lots of people asking after you yesterday. You were very missed. I hope you had an ok night and are feeling as well as can be expected this morning.

Good morning, Lizi. Hope you're feeling considerably better by now. That was a horrible thing to have happen. Having drven into Wales and back yesterday, I was appalled at the standard of driving! I think people were mad on the motorways. Maybe i just don't get out enough....

hiya liz,
i hope you are feeling a little better too!
it must have been awful for you all, you and mark specially, to think that your precious children might have been hurt.
everyone i spoke to yesterday was horrified to hear about your accident, and as liz m says, a lot of love and good wishes were sent you way.
the meeting was fab, no stressful confrontations or hostility, just a great big room filled with love and support. we had a great time and i caught up with people i honestly thought i would never meet again, it was lovely.
even without all the interesting technical stuff, just chatting and feeling among friends was wonderful.
get well soon the gallons, and if there is ANYTHING i can do to help you, you know where i am!
love from john (and sue too)

Hiya,

John that sounds absolutely lovely, I'm so sad to have missed it. Would really like a full rundown of what I missed if anyone has the time to update me?

I was warned that whiplash gets worse before it gets better, and boy does it. Am in a lot of pain today, from the centre of my back, across my neck, down my arms and into my jaw and head. Am taking the Co-Codamol we were given at A&E but it's not really having much effect.

Mark's at work today and I've offloaded the kids to my parents and later my in-laws which means a rare day alone. What a luxury! Trying to switch off that irritating voice in my head that's nagging me to get on with some things that need doing ...

hiya liz,
put all those nenative work thoughts OUTTA YOUR HEAD and enjoy a well-earned ME-DAY!!! OK?
co-codamol is a strong painkiller, i don't have any better ideas, 'cept that a back massage then a hot bath used to help when i sprained my back.
how is mark with the baby-oil???
get well soon liz, and don't push yourself too hard
love john

[liziJ]

It's OK John, I've succumbed to sleep and TV today. To be honest this headache's so bad I couldn't do much else even if I wanted to. Did you see the photo of my car that I put on Facebook (attached)? I can't believe how lightly we came off compared to the van - I'm pretty sure my car's made from titanium!

By the way, thanks everyone else for all the well wishes.

L xx

Hi Lizi,
It may be worth taking ibruprofen as well as its an anti-inflammatory? I'll do a posting tomorrow about yesterday's meeting, need a break today!
