Well over the last couple of days things have been getting tougher and tougher for karen and suzy, they have obvioulsy tried to keep from us how much they were struggling. I was aware that there legs had been swelling up quite significantly every day and they have had to sleep with them elevated and cold compresses on and whilst this hasnt aleviated the problem it has ease it enough for them to ease the pain and continueing walking. Unfortunately this morning they woke in a lot of pain and none of the swelling had gone down making it difficult and painful for them to bend their legs. Thankkfully they thought with their heads and not their hurts and went to hospital. After several hours they were advised they needed to rest and elevate their legs as they had damaged all the soft tissue. Karen also found out that in the process of her walking shehad been bitten by something which had caused her leg to become quite badly infected. She is now on anti biotics four times a day and hopefully the pain will ease over the next 24 hours.
I recieved a very teary phone call from them both today were they felt so bad, as a family we are obvioulsy worried for them, i would love to go and see them but i am unable to drive at the minute as am suffering from whiplash following a car accident a couple of weeks ago. We have spoken to them and reassured them that they have to rest today and tomorrow. they have looked at their route and have told me that they will finish the walk and will still get to chelmsford on saturday as they had planned to.
We are so proud of them and wish them all the best, they are two of the strongest woman i know and they have worked so hard i think its times like this when we can all sit back and think about the size of this challenge and how tough it has been on them.

Hello Isabella, I how was your injury, I wish your okay by this time. Is there any third party involve with your accident? You can file a whiplash compensation claim to the negligent party who causes you whiplash.
