I love my 3 day weekends with DH. He gets every second friday, saturday, sunday off work (after working 11 days straight). We usually plan to do something together on at least one of the days. Friday we went for a ride, a nice sunny, but a bit windy winters day. We rode down the coast about an hour and had a nice lunch in a little truck stop along the highway that we often call into on our rides for a nice cuppa. We were having a great fun ride on the way home. Until DH's foot slipped of his running board (large flat footrest on a harley fatboy) his leg got swung back with some force, as I was hooking into the corner also I didn't see what happened until near the end of it, he was laughing as he put his foot back in its place. He felt a bit of pain later that night, a bit more on Saturday and then this morning he couldn't put his foot down let alone walk on it. So early Sunday morning with a lot of things I had planned now out the window, I drove him to emergency at the hospital. OK not too bad will be the 3rd person in, unless someone comes in with a more of an emergency than the others waiting. Well 2 hours later the first person was in, 3 hours later DH got in, after waiting another 1/2 hour a man came along put him in the wheelchair and took him of for x-rays, then back and wait for the doctor, nearly an hour or so later and he was in extreme pain by now, the doctor came in had a look and told him to go to Wollongong Emergency tomorrow to have a MRI? as x-rays don't show up ligament damage. So tomorrow instead of going to work I have to take him further to Wollongong hospital and wait probably as long as today or longer to have it looked at. I am so tired, I am so upset with myself that I didn't get anything in the garden done and it feels like the whole day was so wasted. BUT I did take my knitting and did get 4 hours of knitting done on my MIL's cardigan for christmas, so not all lost.
I am just waiting for #2 son and his partner to get home, they called in on their way home from being down this weekend, they spend the friday night and most of saturday with us, then go to her parents for saturday arvo, night and sunday morning before heading home on a 3 hour drive. They called in late today to see his father and didn't leave until 7pm, so I will stay up until they ring to say they are home which will be after 10pm. I wouldn't sleep until then anyway.
I shall go make myself a nice cup of tea, and sit a while and knit a bit more.

What a horrible weekend, hope DH's foot heals soon.
I was at Gunning which was cold and windy ... so I sat inside by the fire and KNITTED.
I hope everything is OK. I am glad you had your knitting though. It is teeming with rain here again and very cold too!!
oh yes, more tea, more knitting. so sorry to hear about your trauma, i do hope hes ok?
NessaKnits - I love going to Gunning, don't go much past the main street, but it is such a nice town. My dad was born there, maybe that is why I feel close to it. Love eating at the cafe, can't remember the name, has something to do with sheep and the door handle on the screen door is an old spoon.
My grandmother was born at Belmount Forrest which is about 30kms from Gunning on the Gundaroo Road, and my parents have had a property there for about 30+ years. Love Gunning. Thinking about moving there actually! Oh, and I think it is the Hume Cafe.
