Stupidity

Because of my problem of extreme pain in the legs, I spent most of today laying down, I could stand for short periods without problems, but if I bent or sat down I immediately triggered violent pains in the legs. Eventually, I got very bored and fed-up and said "to hell with it I am going to mow the lawn"; not a good idea. Within ten minutes of starting I had to return to the house and take a very substantial dose of morphine, this took nearly three-quarters of an hour to ease the pain, but did not remove it completely. I finished mowing the upper and lower lawns, but all of the other lawn areas still require cutting. At the end of this exercise I had great difficulty removing myself from the mower and getting back into the house, where I eventually managed to get up and onto the bed; I remained there for the rest of the day. Mrs GOG took this picture which I have back-blipped.
