Day 12 3/6/26

Woke had breakfast and went down the beach and that was where the nightmare started.

The waves were extremely high today, and as I stood in the sea watching the waves, a massive one knocked me off my feet. I tried to stand up and my leg gave way. It was like jelly. I was so scared. The pain was immense. The waves kept pulling me into the sea and then pushed me back onto the beach and then back out again. It seemed like forever. Finally I managed to pull myself out and crawl up to my Sunbed. I can’t believe there was other people on the beach taking photos, but nobody came to help me.
I lay on my sunbed and checked my leg over nothing was broken but the pain was still really intense and I couldn’t stand on it
I called the beach boy over. He called the hotel who came with a stretcher carried me up to the hotel and put me into a wheelchair and wheeled me to my room I was an inch thick covered with sand.
They asked if I wanted to go to hospital, but I asked for the doctor to come and see me instead. A doctor and a nurse came out and checked my leg over. I still could not bear weight. They gave me an anti-inflammatory injection and a pain killer injection. Gave me some tablets and said to call them if the pain got worse.
Cleaner came and swept up the sand and changed the bed covers sand was everywhere !when everybody went I had a good cry and then I hopped into the shower and washed my hair and body around five times trying to get all the sand off. I then hopped back into my bed and receptionist brought me up some ice. I lay on my bed with my leg elevated and ice wrapped around my knee which had now swollen quite a lot.
3 hours later
I could now weight bear a little bit so was happy with this
RICE
I rested
I applied ice for 20 mins on 1 hour off
I cut the toes off my flight socks and put that on for compression
I elevated it above my heart level on 4 big pillows

At 5pm I hobbled down to the lobby for coffee and cake. I can now weight bear and between compression, ice, elevate and rest I am walking slowly around my room
Ordered some room service food took my meds and will sleep. Praying for a recovery in the morning 🙏Read more
