COLD DARK ROOM

[Bee62]

You’ve got me [emoji173]️

 

[Maro2Bear]

I am at the hospital in A&E. I have been through triage and need to wait to see a doctor.

I brought water and a couple of meusli bars. I hope my phone battery holds out!

Darn.....take it easy, hopefully nothing serious!

I am in agony. I walked to the pool for my swim and was nearly there. As I crossed the road, something twanged in the back of my knee and I have terrible pain down the back of my lower leg. Fortunately JoesDad was working nearby and came to rescue me. I am currently on the sofa with painkillers and ice, but can see myself heading to Accident & Emergency by taxi if the pain doesn’t subside in the next hour [emoji22]

Sorry to hear, Linda! Hope the pesky pain disappears soon. [emoji173]️

This is the sunrise this morning over the Potomac River in Washington DC. Going to be a great sunny day. Started off with frost! But will quickly warm.

Sunny day. House is back in order. Time for a Spring paddle....off at 10:00 to our local reservoir, fed by the mighty Patuxent River.

Sunny start - trees are leafing out - nice red tint

So sorry to hear this Linda that sound really painful!
Could be a hamstring gone.
You are doing the right thing following the RICE procedure.
Have you read what NHS direct recommend?
I had something similar years ago and the doctor gave me Naproxen but otherwise it was just rest.
If you think it could be something else then A&E may be your best option.
Take care

British housing/urban developers don’t want nesting birds? I guess the NIMBY effect is in motion.

Glad you are well prepared for a long wait - you may need a full picnic though!
I hope they can help you.
I have a redundant walking frame and I've almost finished with my crutches if you want to borrow them!!

That is disgusting!
Some birds get caught in the netting and die.
What is wrong with people?!!

It's usually
Red sky at night shepherds delight
Red sky in morning shepherds warning.
So if you're out and about take a brolly with you!

But, you all prob have more shepherds than sailors!

I’m back and I’m on crutches. A&E think, after x ray and poking me a lot to see what hurts, it’s soft tissue injury with a query on a Baker’s Cyst as there is a lot of fluid in my knee. My calf is quite swollen too. Ice, painkillers, exercises and a Physio Review at A&E a week today. [emoji20]

The other one was small scale and spur of the moment type deal... this one we do every year. I have reserved 200lbs and will do more catering than enjoying but it’s been a tradition for 7 years now. Of course all my CDR friends are welcome)) there will probably be some shrimp and many other fixings as you say Be warned, it will be HOT and some people will get wild [emoji12]

This sounds like my kind of party. Plenty seafood (specially crayfish), and good people.

That was quick!!
Well done to your A&E!
Hopefully the painkillers will take effect soon and help.
When you are up to it maybe we could have a race!!
As I'm further along the recovery road I think I stand a good chance of winning
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Always been shepherds here, but sailors would work too!

Today my sister in law and I took my grandson to the Carlsbad Flower Fields to see the beautiful ranunculus flowers.
I lived near here has a kid and have great memories of driving by and seeing it from the freeway.
If anyone has heard of Legoland the amusement park these fields are about 2 minutes away and a few block from the beach.
It’s gorgeous and only open about a month during spring.
It’s 50 acres of rainbows!!
