Sea and more sea!

I have had a busy and quite interesting day. I had a doctors appointment at 8.50am, very well spaced out at the surgery, only four of us in the waiting room. I was a bit late going in to see the doctor but he didn’t hurry and was very thorough. He looked at my hands, had me doing lots of exercises and tested the strength. He is not convinced that it is carpel tunnel, I think he has an idea that it is something to do with the nervous system. I am going for blood tests next week and he has sent off a request for me to have hands, feet and neck xrays! A couple of weeks after the xrays I have to make an appointment for another telephone consultation as he said he won’t need to actually see me again. Meanwhile he has prescribed some stronger anti inflammatories. It was a lovely morning so I walked up to see the sea.


The sun was really glinting on the sea, not always easy to catch on a photo, but ai didn’t do too badly today.


I walked past the house and went up to the hairdressers but they weren’t open. They are a bit hit and miss with the opening times. I phoned them a little later and arranged to go and have my hair cut at 2 pm. Before that I spent a bit over an hour at the church helping to get people seated for a funeral. There were forty different ‘bubbles’ of people and getting everybody seated and social distanced was quite a task, although Tina had given up very clear plans. Then. I was off for the haircut. I suggested that Carol and I go for a coffee sometime and she jumped at the idea and wanted to plan it straight away, so we are going to Beverley on Friday, that should be fun.
Tina dropped me off at the physio lady as she want to go and put the car on charge. She couldn’t at that time as both charging units were in use. My session was quite good, she demonstrated just how hard I need to be using the massage balls, I haven’t been doing any good at all! I walked home and Tina went in, she had managed to get the car charging by then,
After tea I walked down to the leisure centre with Tina to collect the car and we drove to Mappleton. A lot of photos and we did go down to the beach, a beautiful evening. The first one shows that there was rain over the sea in the distance. No more explantation for quite a few photos.








Tina is off tomorrow, has a hair appointment at 2pm but we may pot out in the morning if the weather is good.

  1. Always good to keep busy, specially if it doesn’t involve to much hard work! Hopefully the X-rays etc will lead to something that may help. Fingers crossed. At least it’s good he’s thinking of other things. Worth going just for the trip to the sea. It does look nice with a bit of sun on it.
    Haircuts, church ushering, you certainly don’t lead a boring life 😊 Sounds like Friday should be a fun trip out for you.
    Hopefully the massage balls will do some good now you know how to use them properly. You’ll probably make your wrists and hands ache pressing so hard!
    Your evening trip to the sea looks really nice too. The sign is enough to make most people tread carefully I think! 💣

  2. Quite a full day, feeling quite weary now.
    Maybe the new pills will arrive this time in a couple of days, fingers crossed they help for now.
    I am looking forward to spending a bit of time with Carol.
