... like i should be.
Some of you may remember my excited post on saturday as i was going to Durham for a weeks riding holiday with a friend.
Well we had to come back at 8pm last night because something in my ankle went during a lesson (at first i thought maybe a my stirrup had caught on something and swung around and bashed me but i realised my foot was still in it and where it should be and my stupid joints were obviously just not strong enough). I'm soooo angry and disappointed as we were having a fantastic time. Now i'm sat here swollen and bandaged and iced after 2 hours in a+e to be told it's ligament/tendon/soft tissue damage... meaning no bones broken and they can't be bothered to find out what else it is, so just rest it til it stops hurting.
Good news is that the lovely owners of the place said we could make up the rest of our holiday in a few months for free (thank god as this is the one time i forgot to get holiday insurance!!).
And bless the instructor who is covering for the usual one. She was fantastic and did push us to do new things but she felt terrible about my ankle and gave us her home number in case she's not there when we go back. She said she will try and come back just to teach us
But apart from the embarrassment of being lead to the front door of our accommodation on horseback and in tears (they wouldn't stop, damn them!) Then having the gamekeeper over to lift me off the horse
and the obvious pain it was a really nice few days of hacking and 2 fantastic lessons i got so much out of.
Cookies and wine for getting to here. Sorry it's a right essay. I just needed to get it all out as i'm sat in a stuffy room unable to do much and i'm pretty peed off and miserable.
