    Sorry to hear about the sciatica and hand/arm Jo and don't feel bad about taking painkillers when you need them! 

    I think I can join in with the last few posts in saying that OH definitely needs direction when willing to do gardening jobs image

    Good luck with the cakes BJay image

    Glyn, I may have to if the sciatica doesnt settle.

    Today I got lots done, including carrying my Hosta pots from by the house wall down to the bottom patio where they spend the summer/Autumn. I decided to try whist the pots were at their lightest as we've had no rain for ages.

    I managed, but probably not the most sensible idea with a poorly R arm, a knee objecting & the odd back twinge! Anyway, afterwards I sat sheltered from the wind having had more painkillers! The nurse I spoke to last week has also phoned to check up on me! image

    Tomorrow am off to the hairdressers- the first cut in over 12 months- then lunch at GC with friend. So no real chance of more injury there??? J.

    TENS is good. Does a lovely job on a back.

    Didn't help my daughter when the hospital gave her one to help with labour pains Nutcutlet!  Her husband and I took so long trying to fathom out the instructions as to where to place it and how it worked that she threw it at us!  We were only trying to help, honest.

    I survived!

    Nice lunch & had a £5 off any full price plant voucher too, so another Heuchera has come home with me!  image

    Off to wash the car now. I usually wait until it's rained/raining, but I need to sort it so metered water it will be. J.

  • Chronic pain is so debilitating, Jo and Lizzie. I hope you find answers. Does the local hospital have a pain clinic?

    We have 2 SILs, a BIL and a DIL with rheumatoid arthritis, so I've seen and regretted the effects of this problem quite a lot, but thank the Lord I haven't experienced it personally. I'm grateful for my health.

    Am planting a blue meconopsis this afternoon. They don't like being moved, so I hope it settles down. Kept it in a pot until now in the hope of warmer weather, but I think I'll just plant it now, while it is relatively dormant.
