Holiday Woe's
The thought of two weeks holiday in Turkey was great, that was on the 10th of October. We arrived in Turkey to Bright sunshine, the next day Weds was the same it was great.
We woke on Thurs to an overcast sky then the heavens opened, torrential rain thunder and lightening which lasted for two days.
Sat dawned to bright sunshine, great we could resume our holiday. All went fine then my daughter asked me to watch the children in the pool while she went buy some pool toys, my youngest grandson decided he wanted to go to the toilet so off we go.
This is when disaster struck! Coming out of the toilet was three steps in marble and you can guess what happened, my foot slipped.
I was holding the handrail and as I felt my foot go I grabbed it with the other hand, I saved my body but landed with full force on my left foot.
I dislocated my ankle and fractured three bones. my next four days were spent in hospital and I now have a foot screwed on with plates and screws.
You could say that was the end of my holiday as I couldn't do anything or go anywhere.
On Monday I have the stitches out and it will probably be encased in plaster for the next six weeks or so but at least it might be able to get around a bit easier, I hope so anyway.
We stayed at the Arum Hotel in Side in Turkey so if you book there be very careful as the floors although they look great in white marble they are like icy floors if wet and possible death traps.
