Loads of gentle hugs for all that ongoing pushing through what seems an immense effort for no apparent gain apart from more pain @jjraakBloods in the bonds 007.
Not keen to come down it seems.
Have invite to a zoom T2D group with my surgery/area
Might be good for me at moment
Worried I'll just be a bad influence like I was at Desmond's and talk too much about non medicinal ways we can help ourselves
We'll see
Physio at hospital tomorrow.
Stressing out about it
Have 2 sets of physio exercises from two hospitals to do .
And the PTSD is beginning to occupy a lot of time, into the mission creep most projects get to.
But I've got LOTS of time, just never enough of it
One exercise.
Sit on chair. Extend leg and hold
Did...ouch
But persevered.
Probably shouldn't have
.knee has been painful ever since
Feel like lower leg is a stump
And pressure on knee is like resting on glass
Taking that pressure off knee is like pulling that glass out
Walking more difficult.
Consequently all exercise is noticeably more sore .(thank you SO much, psychosomatic illnesses )
Shoulder exercises make repeat days harder
And any exercise on hand inflames the wrist, which makes the hand almost useless next day or two.
IF I can get to appointment, gonna be straight
A bit of me is hoping I get sent for x-ray to check all is ok .
As each trip out, is such a rarity,
I usually try to turn it into a Johnsons works meet., Without the fight,. Red wine up the walls and endless vomitting, obv.
WAS looking forward to meeting nephews for beer etc highlight of my month, really ..
Sod all else happens.
But might have to cancel
I'll see what tomorrow brings, as mum used to say, god bless her
Adios amigos.
Hope that you get some physio sorted and agree that you probably ought to have an X-ray if that hand is playing you up. Take careBloods in the bonds 007.

Oh dear, hope that there is nothing in your garden to give you an allergic reaction - moocho investigation? Splendid kaleidoscopic roses.Fbg 7.1
High, but I had an allergic reaction yesterday.
Midnight was on the swing at dawn for breakfast.
Still no sign of Shadow.
Midnight fed and now he is swinging on the large wooden swing.
Little Miss (baby sparrow), yesterday was doing her best Pink Panther Peter Sellers interpretation all through the grass and wild flowers, not caring about any cats in the garden. Mrs Bluetit came and checked on Little Miss each time she came in for food. And showed Little Miss where to search for interesting stuff. Mrs Bluetit must be reciprocating the care the sparrows took of her last year when she was orphaned when my horrible neighbour cut down my trees and bushes without my permission (which were not growing over on his property),
Her Daddy and Mummy are still trying to drive Little Miss away from their space. But like all recalcitrant difficult teenagers (which she is by now), Little Miss has no intention in leaving this excellent feeding ground. And has an ally in Mrs Bluetit...
The top of my left hand either got an insect bite (I can't see anything obvious), or I brushed it against something toxic, and it went all itchy for a few hours, and the suddenly started swelling badly, just the skin on the top of my hand. And I went very tired. I took an antihistamine but it carried on swelling, and so the only thing I could think of was lavender essential oil. So I poured some on neat. It stopped the swelling, and it started to go down. I had ice on it in the night and took ibuprofen. That helped a bit. It has not quite gone down completely, but I wish I knew what it was.
Creative today is some roses in my front garden. J's roses, in Laboscope as a kaleidoscope.
Like a bad penny, little Miss has just come back for her breakfast and another day of stuffing her face....
Dare I say, time for a hot cuppa....

There are some plants that give me skin irritation/reaction, but none in my garden currently. When I see them growing, heavy duty gloves on and I get rid of them.Oh dear, hope that there is nothing in your garden to give you an allergic reaction - moocho investigation? Splendid kaleidoscopic roses.
Interesting mountains @dunelmGood morning everyone from what looks to be another bright and sunny day here in the dark and dangerous north.
My trip in search of the elusive whitebait was not all in vein as we found Whitby dressed crab salad and had to put up with that - oh poor us! Frantic packing going on today - Mrs Miggins is off to Spain with children and grandchildren tomorrow to lay on sun loungers and fry in the sun. Youngest son and family are not going but will be coming here on Thursday to eat cakes and cucumber sandwiches and wear matching hats and gloves and celebrate Mrs Queen.
Art bit - pining for the fjords. Have a glorious Friday if you can. I shall be making koffy and not much else.

Thanks for the wish and compliments @ianpspursHello everyone from a grey skied Exotic East on Super Salmon Salad day. Should I be extravagant and have whitebait as a starter? I prefer to take the risk of disappointment out of the equation and have mine delivered. Thank you for the art @dunelm - beautiful plumage. Enjoy that cake and time with your son and family. Apparently this Close will be dining al fresco as one, complete with bouncy castles and musac just for Her Maj. Our son (middle) from Southampton and his family will be here for the "jollity" I'm very much a jovial guy by nature as y'all know Thank you and have a wonderful weekend yourself @Jojo85. @gennepher thanks for the wildlife story and rose kaleidoscope. I hope the allergic reaction isn't too troublesome and you solve the mystery of the cause. @jjraak gentlest of hugs for that tale of so much effort for so much pain. One of the most useful things I read on here is in someone's signature: tough times don't last, tough people do. This may give you a few minutes of light relief. @Krystyna23040 I hope you can solve the access problem and good relationships can be normalised (puns fully intended). This is one of the saddest things I've read in a very long time. There are days when even the strongest faith is challenged. Have a great but safe day everyone but think long and hard about the impact on other people.
@alf_Josiah @ianpspurs@alf_Josiah are you not following No Mow May? (Too woke for you perhaps?) As for multiple personalities and absurdity: on Wednesday we were sternly lectured on not letting parties get out of hand; on Thursday Dishy needed to give us all money as we can't buy food, heat our homes or use the oven. Apparently next week none of that matters since we need to buy tat, drink sparkling wine of dubious quality, consume half raw/burned sausages or other non food, eat carb dense but disgusting - from what I've read- desserts and be superspreaders of covid and or monkey pox. Go figure.
Your art is different, since the Fjords @dunelmGood morning everyone from an early start here in the dark and dangerous north
5am - yes it does exist! Taxi duty to get Mrs Miggins and eldest granddaughter over to daughters house for 6am. They will now be on their way to Newcastle in a two car convoy to catch their flight to sun and swimming pool. Always a villa and self catering. I shall have an excellent quite time of it until youngest son and gang arrive on Thursday. Weeding yesterday with the girl in the bubble who thought that a fishing net was the ideal tool for carrying detritus over to the garden bin.
Art bit - just adding a touch of colour to the last three pieces. Have a wonderful day if you can. My early koffy is now ready.
