An extravagant way to get an assignment extension...

​One Saturday earlier this month, we went to Hoddles Creek with the Ninjas with the intention of staying overnight and having a laugh and then going home on Sunday to finish an assignment, like a responsible adult. Had a little stroll around and met Minty the sheep, who was quite lovely and didn’t smell at all of mint sauce.

And not long afterwards, I got a bit broken.

M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-Minty!

So what happened right, is that I was minding my own business when a devil bird came at me, hell bent on taking my head clean off, so I stepped back and somehow, some way, I managed to injure my leg quite badly. Fortunately, the awesomely awesome Boo and his equally fantabulous sister Moo, both descended like a SWAT team with ice and cushions and words of comfort because they know how to look after nufties like me.

After an hour or so, the pain got worse instead of better and long story short:

• the calf muscle was torn
• 2 discs in my lower back prolapsed
• the world was filled with hurt
• I couldn't drive/walk/sit/stand/lie without pain
• Mrs Ninja drive us back to Melbourne on the Monday
• I had better drugs, but they didn't work
• I ended up in an ambo and went to hospital
• and then I spent a week at home, couch-bound

I did not spend a week on the couch here. This is all I got to see of Hoddles Creek. It was very nice. Except for the devil bird that tried to kill me.

So, I'm massively behind on my folio project and some written work because I haven't been able to sit for too long at a time and apart from these pics at Hoddles Creek, I've taken no other photos.  

And now my crutches and I have to go do today's rehab walk...
