................the needle and the damage done....

Another disturbed night....awake every hour on the hour.........gave up at 5.00 a.m.

On the way into work picked up a dozen donuts for the department as a thankyou for last weeks efforts.........when I arrived Peter had brought a dozen danish pastries!

Felt dizzy and headachey all day..............turns out so did Peter.......it might be a virus!

4.40 telephone consultation with the doctor ............10 days after the x-ray.......the image shows no bone damage but as she put it...." the normal arthritis wear and tear you'd expect from someone in their fifties who played a lot of sport"

I played football and rugby at school......and ran the 400m to County Champion level.........gave up the rugby and athletics in my 20's but played football until my 40's...........and then became a hockey coach.

The doc says the pain is obviously down to soft tissue injury.......so ......what are my options?.........physio....but it would be regular sessions for several months.........not easy when you're working full time.......or steroid injections!

I've taken option 2......but the first one is due on July 18th at 2.30..........the last day of term......and she's advised not driving myself..........and there's a party that evening.........dancing banned!...........she did say though that she was only penciling me in.......and if I decide not to risk missing the party I can defer until August.

Have I made the right choice? Who knows.

Now to try for some sleep.

Another emergency blip...........the Daughter has been practicing her baking again........Hannah isn't really 1......not until December.

(I've back blipped the weekend if you can be arsed keeping up with my weird world)
