Morning
Mrs W request for me to put up the outside Christmas lights is looking doubtful as it’s persisting it down here. Trip to the physio this morning to get shoulder assessed and hopefully they can do something as I don’t fancy starting next year with surgery.0 -

Good luck. I have a bunch of scars all over the place from that, so far nothing serious at least, which given my lifelong habit of outdoorsiness is something of a miracle.seanoconn said:

Ta.oxoman said:Morning all. Usual stuff and not raining here yet. No glass back or dodgy parts here, just the snots. Pinno you took me back 40yr with your experience. Try being told as a shy nieve 18 that you've got to be shaved for a pre-op and they send in a young student nurse to do it. I don't know who was redder me or her. Either way the op got cancelled as I got better by some miracle. Have seen the nurse many times since and we still laugh about it.
Hope you all get better.
You can imagine that having spent over 10 years going in and out of hospital, I found myself in some pretty undignifying situations but... none more so than before all of that. Summer 1990, I was racing and developed bad saddle sore. I went to see the GP and was referred to the practise nurse: a blonde, blue eyed stunner. Explained the situation and she said she would come back. I sat there all fidgety wondering whether it would be better to leg it than end up standing to attention.
To my relief, a nurse looking like Mrs Trunchball came in with a pot of emollient. I was sent away with it after it was applied very liberally and in a manner which can only be described as 'brusque', contemptive even.
It doesn't end there. This stuff stank and they gave me these plastic underwear thingies. Every step or pedal stroke, it would rustle and after 2 hours of application, it stank.
I was dossing at my mate house in the corner of the living room (between accommodation having finished my college course), early Sunday AM, my mates very short and over zealous mum got the hoover out and was shouting above the noise of the hoover [add strong Sussex accent] "I realise you have a bit of a problem but it's okay, i've booked you in to the STD clinic...". Everybody in the house heard.
Apparently, I was in denial when I tried to explain it was simply saddle sore and the cream they gave me.

Afternoon - Pre Xmas busy-ness persists, a bit like the rain. Refuelling in between dealing with idiots, fortunately most have them have packed up for the day over in the Kingdom of Far Far Away. Will be having a cider tonight..."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0
