Hello and good morning everyone from DD's near Wellingborough. A nice lie in then getting up to make a cup of tea.
An eventful day yesterday. I hadn't slept at all on Thursday night as I was in so much pain in my upper back that I had to ring the surgery. Wonder of wonders the doctor offered me a face to face appointment within the hour. Being in so much pain that I couldn't walk there (a good 40 minutes each way), at DS's suggestion I phoned his partner, who very kindly gave me a lift. As she is outside my bubble, we sat socially distanced in the car and both wore masks. The doctor gave me a thorough examination and concluded that I had a trapped nerve somewhere, with the pain radiating across my upper back, shoulder and down my left arm. I also had blood pressure taken, which was sky higb, and also an ECG, which happily turned out to be normal. Then a bit of a shock when the doctor listened to my heart, and detected a heart murmer, so have been referred to hospital for a heart scan.
DS's partner then very kindly took me to the chemist to pick up the painkillers the doctor had prescribed. After that back home, some tidying up and lunch, and then wait for DSon-in-law to pick me up in the afternoon. A pleasant evening watching rugby (well not quite so pleasant as our team lost!) and eating pizza. It's so nice to have company and feel normal.
I had quite a good night's sleep thanks to the painkillers; although I still have some pain, it's not as bad as yesterday. I have already dosed myself up this morning. Not much planned for today, reading and watch tv I expect, which I am not complaining about. More rugby to watch today I think. Looking forward to seeing what the cake is like that I made on Thursday.
Hope the day is kind to us all. Take care Marydoll.
