My RTBC today is that my wife has managed to book her Covid injections. First one on Friday. Add to that our area has been white on the Covid map for over a week now and the surrounding areas are all the lightest possible shade of green. For those who aren't familiar with the map, white indicates that there have been fewer than 3 cases in the past 7 days, and light green that there have been fewer than 9. The drop in cases overall is great news.
Good news @KT53. I've just read that Devon is amongst the areas to do the over 50's by 8th March which means hopefully my daughter will get hers done. I will be so relieved if so as she lives alone and I worry about her.
@Dovefromabove and @Lizzie27 indeed the shoulder is a complex area. It's been messed about with for years most recently I was enrolled with a NHS program for long term pain sufferers, turned out it was for people on long term pain meds only I've hardly ever had any as none have ever worked. It did take up about 4 months so another wasted period. I borrowed some money and payed for the scan in the end as I'd been told so many times I'd get it then see it fall through.
@Wilderbeast, do hope the scan finds out what is wrong and that they can fix it. I have suffered similarly with my right shoulder, which has never been the same since a very bad frozen shoulder back in the 1990's. I've had it x-rayed once which didn't show much wrong as I suspected as it's not bone related but not a scan. I've also had two steroid injections which helped quite a bit over the last two years. I found it does help to have a monthly back and shoulder massage which loosens up the soft tissues. Good luck with yours.
The RTBC, are not!! I have had 3 frozen shoulders, (yeah WHO KNEW I had 3 shoulders!!) Hubby did his Rotator Cuff in a couple of years back, slipping on mud coming back down The South Downs with the dogs.hypextended his left arm, and fell on the hand. Well, had my first jab (hes too young haha!!) sun has been out a few days, he got the grass cut at the weekend, mid February, unheard of, its stopped raining, saving on the heating costs.Crocus,daffs,pansies,irises,hellibores happil flowering, we are safe and well as are the kids
Going back to the beginning of February, our last house, tiny 1930s, cottage just the 2 of us, and out working full time, we paid £23 pcm for our water supply, moved here, detached property, water meter which people told us NEVER to have paid £8 pcm was staggered, obviously it has gone up since then!!
My black (landfill) wheelie bin was emptied yesterday for the first time in 4 weeks and even then it was scarcely half full. When we moved from weekly to fortnightly collections I remember the furore that emanated from certain quarters, almost predicting the end of Western civilisation.
Hey Ho! I started a new job 3 weeks ago after being made redundant from a senior position with a Civil Engineering company in October. The job was working for a local company ,family run business in a barn just up the lane from us. Very busy supplying commercial cleaning machines. Totally chaotic, no organisation with 3 dogs in the barn, farting and peeing all over the place. Accounts woman,crucial to cash flow is the most horrible, unhelpful person I have ever met in over 35 years of work. She didn't like my new suggestions to improve business so was sacked today! It's Spring, can access my pension pots and time in the garden - Happy Days, my mental health restored - who needs money when you have property our house 500k- downsize to France. More interesting is house prices , what you can get for your coin in Ireland. My partner's Irish and my Grandparents are Irish, southern Ireland...Brexit?? Ironically celebrating my sacking (never had that before) with a G & T , looking forward to week in the garden planning/doing new veg plot, sowing seeds and getting on with new project- wildlife pond and relocating the chickens
