I hope the injection works for you Lucky. You don't need pain whilst trying to sort out those boxes! Hospital parking is one of my absolute bug bears. I find it cruel to charge ill people, or people visiting relatives who are ill; and yet we can all park for free at Bluewater or wherever. Makes my blood boil. I recognise some inner city hospitals need a system, or people not in/visiting the hospital could abuse patient/visitor parking but they could devise a system where you get a stamp or something from the dept. Anyway smile glad you got away with it!!!!

As some of you will know I have had lots of problems since my hip replacement. Went to see consultant today and he says the x-rays look fine, which is reassuring; but he could not prod anywhere near it without me jumping out of my skin. He says it is trochanteric bursitis and gave me a steroid injection. I have my fingers crossed that this will do the trick.

It was quite an adventure as I parked myself in the hospital car park, got out of the car and realised I did not have my handbag with me - so no money! I went to the ticket machine and pressed the help button and a disembodied voice told me to get out quickly as there was 10 minutes grace on the ticket barrier; and then to park outside A&E (which is pay and display) and I would get fined but at least I would be able to get out!! As I drove in I saw the warden photographing the number plates, so I sneaked in between two cars he had already photographed when he wasn't looking. In spite of a long wait I came out and found no clamp! - so dashed off pdq!!
