How long have you got?
Anyone about to read this - either put the kettle on or go away and do something else or turn the computer off. Why? - Well you know why - it's boring for most people - especially young healthy ones. It sounds like the devil's work or at least the indulgences of an old man - an old grumpy man.
So Tim, you want to know how Tim is ... OK.
I'll list it - that way some of the emotion will get taken out:
- Yesterday daytime - worst ever since this frozen shoulder thing started several months ago. A plethora of additional and presumably unrelated symptoms manifesting themselves - and uncharacteristically - in the day time whereas normally all the pain is at night (as tonight typing away here now at 5 a.m. having the pain wake me an hour earlier).
- Yesterday - new stuff - severe pain in both feet (no not gout - I know what that is) could hardly walk - stayed in a dressing gown all day - poor wife out in a dreadful gale all day chipping wood from our fallen tree - jobs I should do. Nightmare.
- Obviously frozen shoulder thing still on the go but most pain now in elbow - can hardly use my left arm.
Back to the list:
- Physio (second appointment) today. He won't be happy as could not do exercises - too damned painful and shoulder exercise contraption - ordered but didn't arrive (yet).
- Dr appointment Monday to get more pain killing tablets and try to find out what the hell is wrong with me.
- Writing: giving-up my writing group (it's pointless - can't be bothered to explain). I do this blog often in the early hours when my arms allow - but little proper writing - so sad - but hopefully I'll be cured some day and get back to that best seller stuff.
I am terribly aware of the dire tendency to go downhill psychologically, Tim, so depression is a real looming threat - so to try to counteract that I'll endeavour to maintain my sense of humour ...
... Pain is so fucking funny - I almost die laughing.
Oh dear I used the "f" word - I just lost one of my two little lonely readers - sorry I didn't mean it - pretend I said the word "awfully" (funny) - rather than fucking - oh bugger - said it again - sorry. I'm digging a hole here - shut up Tim!!!
I wonder if my blog will now get taken down by Google because of bad language ...?
Little lonely reader - please don't report my slip - I do so enjoy writing this blog - it's keeping me sane (just about).
Sincere apologies ...
Tim.

Dear Tim, Agony Aunt has nothing but sympathy and understands the need for expletives. Don't chastise yourself - go and soak your feet in something soothing (not wine, unless it's cheap plonk). Hoping you get some answers soon before you go bonkers.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't thinking of you, "Agony Aunt" when I said that I would lose one of my (if plural is appropriate) lonely little readers. I was thinking of another 'aunt' that may take offence at strong language. Thanks for showing and taking an interest. I'd like to say that I now feel better or cured as a result ...
ReplyDeleteI can empathise with your condition Tim. Perhaps you could take note of an old Philippino cure for such things......get a woman to walk on your back (not wearing stilhetto’s I hasten to add!) .... failing that, have you tried Tens stimulation?
