Ride It Like You Stole It!

WFH today. Spent a fair bit of yesterday at medical appointments. Bad news, high grade tear of my supraspinatus tendon (rotator cuff - shoulder) classed as high grade when a tear is over 50% of the tendon (7mm) - mine is 10mm so that would suggest about 2/3rds is torn. GP said no operation (good) but I'll push for a steroid injection to settle it down. Was given just 7 days supply of naproxen - I'll take one before bed as I can manage the pain during the day. Will volterol up though during the day as that works 'locally' - magic stuff.

Good news, discharged from the Hospital for my fractured pelvis. Xray showed on-going healing and the consultant was very pleased when he saw me walk in without a limp - some other bloke (pelvic injury) in at the same time was limping badly.

I felt a bit of a fraud being there (now I am mobile) as a guy next to me had just had his tib and fib screwed together after his leg had been pinned by a car (he was on a bike but I think there was a bit more to it - he was somewhat 'rough' and there was mention of assault etc). But, he was still in agony, and his big toe was black. Looked in a right mess. He'd had surgery two weeks ago and sent away with just co-codamol. Another chap was in having had his tendons repaired in his knee. Apparently he'd injured his knee doing Jujitsu, but slipped near his dog's food bowls in the kitchen and torn it.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Suffolk. I really am going to have to get rid of the current duvet cover as it seems to be about an inch or two smaller than the standard double size resulting in the duvet bunching inside and it not quite draping over the bed properly resulting in a lousy night's sleep.

Coffee has been had and I'm now waiting for tickets to go on sale for something in November - given that pre-sales have all sold out, I'm not hopeful. More time will be spent later making notes of computer settings so I know what to do when the new machine arrives.

I hope the weather holds for the weekend as there's a display of locally built traction engines being held by Ipswich Transport Museum and it includes a run through the town on Saturday which I may go and have a look at.
Is this a sign of me finally admitting I'm getting old as I've previously had no real interest in this sort of thing?
