I’ve slowly been getting more and more aware I’m heading for a major depression. Been on the cards for a while and tho I try pushing it off it keeps oozing back under my defences. The cause is probably the same old, same old… disempowerment. Pretty much it’s a feeling that your life and decision … More Stranger in a strange land.
Got to the docs at 2:00 p.m. and he had a look at the foot, knee and hip. I walked away with yet more antibiotics. This time I have Cephalexin 500 Mg to take twice a day. The fact he gave me a repeat prescription didn’t fill me with confidence, but there ya go. As … More And the doctor said…
The title refers to *me* actually… I just can’t do what I used to do even a few short months ago. The pain in my hip/back/groin/or wherever really *has* got worse and if this keeps up I’m going to be applying for a disability badge to help me when I park! Of it isn’t quite … More Things ain't what they used to be.
I’m hoping the pains will have gone by the morning. It’s quite probable that I just did too much today, at least that’s what I’m hoping anyway, Assuming it *is* better… and even if it isn’t… I’m off to the gym!! I need to get this weight off and if it comes off maybe… just … More And tomorrow… ?
As said, I’m back on my feet and walking again. Tomorrow I intend to go back to the gym and stretch the tired old muscles once again, but obviously I really needed to do something before that to avoid over reaching myself and causing more damage than I ‘cure’. I mentioned I took the dogs … More Ouch – a nice quiet family outing!
Ok… I’m more or less mobile again so it’s time to take stock and see where I’ve got to… physically at least. I’m 61, got three collapsed vertebrae, a ‘dickey knee’ and ‘trick hip’, and of course a broken toe. I also have those pesky allergies to consider… both the life threatening allergy to stings … More The State of Play.
Ok I know this ‘toe related’ rambling is getting tedious… but it’s a blog and if I can’t whinge here where can I do it? 🙂 So today, I got to the specialist after I managed to find a space at the other end of the car park. Naturally, as I approached the building itself … More Toe the line.
So… the toe is *still* infected and looks dire (to me), however the specialist tells me it looks much as he expected it to. He also says I’ll almost certainly need another operation to ‘cauterise’ the nail to stop it regrowing since it looks like it won’t regrow onto the bed properly. The wife was … More A bit more toe stuff.
Out I went revelling in my newly restored ability to drive and thought since the wife is out to the theatre tonight I’d wander around the local store, pick up a few choice nibbles and once the kids are in bed… setle down to watch some of the crap movies we have on DVD. So … More The heady feeling of freedom.
Had the x-ray. Toe still cracked. Saw the specialist. We were there on time… he was an hour late. He is also quite mad, utterly bonkers… and quite probably certifiable. I can’t quote specifics, but from the moment he said hello… which he didn’t… he clearly wasn’t quite the full loaf. No doubt the wife … More Toe the line.
