TNRCers I thought you might appreciate an update on my ongoing relationship with Ikea.
I visited on the evening of Wednesday 12th, with Tori, to pick up some final baby stuff. We're due on the 6th of Feb so are fully on red alert right now.
As we finished walking around and neared the tills, my right foot started to hurt a little bit. By the time I got home, it was really quite painful.
To cut a long story short, I have been in pain ever since, with a couple of trips to the doctors, who initially diagnosed some kind of soft tissue damage. Oh no, it now turns out that I have got a stress fracture in my third metatarsel which is now in a bright orange 'walking' cast. Obviously the timing of this injury is a disaster.
Given that, last year, a trip to Ikea ended up with me having a bout of Olecranon Bursitis (swellbow) and now this; I recommend that you avoid the place at all costs.
Pissed off.
