Wow! Don't the jungle drums work fast! Thanks to everyone who has phoned or e mailed to ask if all is well. Answer, yes it is ish... I didn't tear my Achiiles, it was the tendons either side and the muscles they attach to in the calf. For those of you who would like a good laugh... I fell off the kerb, stone cold sober on the way to Gideon's 50th, bottle in hand and slipped off the kerb before I got there. Thanks to all who massaged, rubbed, gave healing and drank for me. Hospital have said not to walk on it for at least 2 days then I can put gentle pressure on.
