Good morning all. How was the osteopath visit Carol?

The drizzle has passed and the heatwave has returned for the forseeable future.

We are deserting Daughter and will mostly be spending the weekend in London. Daughter is using her professional ecology skills as a volunteer this weekend. She has maintained contacts with Kent Wildlife Trust despite moving away from the area which is rather nice :)

Have a good weekend all. Not see you later hopefully... and I'll send postcards if I can :)

Good Morning Linda
I really look forward to them but then afterwards wish I hadn't gone, as I am quite sore afterwards. Lol. Kidding aside it is going well. Although I am not better and still struggling I can see that it is helping. My right arm is now giving me problems and he worked on it last night along with my back. My new goal now that I have conquered the coffee is to take a walk and quick ly down and big glass of water before I take a pain killer. I am also going to try cutting my sleeping tablets and pain killers in half to try to see if that will help to wean myself off them.
How is your shoulder doing by the way?

Baby steps. A little at a time. Cut the painkillers or sleeping tablets not both together. You did well with the coffee :)

My shoulder is "there". I knkw about ot all the time, but live with it. Occasionally, I will do something that leaves me writhing with agony...usually it is when I reach for something and just twist it slightly. I just have to wait for it to pass. Longer drives leave it pretty sore due to gear changes... our cars don't have automatic gearboxes. I take painkillers if I have to. I am planning on driving to my Mum's soon and I think I will have to take painkillers before I start. It take around 5 hours to get there

Last year in November I changed to an automatic car and it has made the world of difference. 5 hours is a long time to drive. Can someone else not do the driving for you or at least not share the driving with you?
It must make things very difficult for you with your shoulder being out of action. When are you seeing the specialist again?

I will be travelling alone. It is 5 hours with breaks, I should be OK. If it takes longer because I need more breaks then so be it :)

I am so jealous of your place. That is exactly the kind of place i would love to live.

Thank you! Most often it’s a pain I the &** to maintain but I’m proud to have the ability to get my kids outside and support my “zoo” habits. It wouldn’t bother me one bit to never leave my house and the older I get, the worse that gets.. If I ever make it to retirement, I could well become a hermit!
