Blast. (Insert further swear words according to personal preference - I used them all!!!)
I think I pulled the entire leg, not just a muscle or tendon - everything seems to be overstretched from bum to foot. And I only sprained that ankle last year, which took months to clear up properly. You all know the dilemma: The doctor or some other well-meaning person tells you to take it easy, and stay at home for a few days with your feet up - but livestock lacks the understanding for these situations! So it drags on.
And no, the bathroom floor wasn't wet, and I wasn't in socks, either - so I really don't understand how it happened. Only that it's bloody painful.
Right - now that you are all feeling sorry for me, I can stop feeling sorry for myself!
Can't bend down, though - so gardening is out; can't sit properly, either - I'm kind of reclining in the chair at the moment, with my left leg in a strange position; walking slowly is ok, as long as no hordes of heavy lambs come rushing at my legs. Oh well, good excuse to have a bottle of wine tonight (as painkiller, and to ensure I can sleep! 
).
I know how hard it is to rest when there is so much out there that needs doing! But if you physically can't do it, then you can't do it. So don't!
but you must.... you MUST... 
I'm flattered. Do I give the impression of being that young???
Just sitting on half a bum is still a bit uncomfortable, to say the least.
