WW, I make a hot drink from one of the spicy ingredients in curry which helps.
I had some things I just had to do, not knowing hip would be so bad so hobbled to bus. Bought some stuff from chemist which I know works but I can get about 3 days relief from it before stomach rebels. That should give me enough breathing space to get to doctor next week.
Cold and windy here so I will make some warming f*******k drink.

Am half crippled this morning with bad flare of arthritis in one hip. I can barely walk.
I slept most of the night on a chair where hips were lower than knees. This eased the pain but was not an ideal way of sleeping. May have to visit doctor next week if it does not settle. Hate all the drugs available but sometimes need overcomes my feelings. Have used pretty well all of them over the years at one time or another.
Sisterly sympathy and prayers from one who's been there but was lucky enough to get replacements when relatively young (three altogether). All I want to know now is whether they should last another twenty years – I don't want to spend a moment of my remaining years recovering from major surgery. Meanwhile the arthritis is steadily progressing in both thumbs...

Thank you, GG. HAve had aches and pains for years but live with it and have ways of coping. But this is something else again. No idea what caused the flare. Shoulder has been bad too.

Cooling my heels still. Docs remain happy, final medication change brewing for later today, home tomorrow.
Decided not to watch the rugby last night, in he interests of stying calm, which was probably just as well. Had a great sleep last night.

Thanks all for prayers. Am feeling a bit better today and can move slightly better after getting some of the stomach destroying tablets. Will make appointment with doctor tomorrow while I have another day I can take the tablets to keep moving. Three days is the limit for me on them and I haven't had them for years and years. There are some I can take but they are script only.
Could perhaps get to doc's tomorrow but it's my birthday. Last time I went to doctor on my birthday was 2008 when I was told I had pneumonia and to get home to bed and stay there, otherwise it would be hospital. Twisted logic I know, but I'll keep birthdays and doctors apart if possible. I've had a good run lately. Since that visit I've been to see him twice and each time was for fluvax.

Ohh, bad way to spend your birthday Loth, hope you're feeling ok and are getting some of this lovely winter sunshine.
Damper making went very well with Sunday School this morning (thanks Cryptic for the inspiration), kids all enthusiastically took turns at measuring, mixing pouring kneading etc and the finished product turned out better than I expected. All good.

I'm much better than yesterday with some medication but was still hobbling around. Just before noon in walked son and his two from 90 minutes up the coast. He got BBQ going. We had German beer he had brought. Master 7 fitted vacuum together and went through the place. Not long since it was done but my mind says never to turn down a willing helper.
His sister, 12 a few days ago, got busy and made a chocolate cake. I had to show her how to work Kitchenaid mixer, but otherwise she was fine. Their mother had work to do. She iced it while still warm and even managed a good job of that.
Then eldest son walked in laden with various cheeses and wine. Also a large square bottle full of blue gin. Just the brand I like! A bottle of Terrace Vale port, 1995, appeared on my bench too. This was a small winery in Hunter Valley which closed late 1997. It had beautiful stuff and great port and muscat but was basically shut down by a much larger competitor.
Some unusual garlic bread he bought from artisan baker in Summer hill. Almost like a Swiss roll with lots of creamy garlic inside. Very good.
They've not long gone and it has been a very pleasant day, much better than yesterday. Middle son is on his way to a week in snow, so could not be here.

Glad you had a nice day Loth, sounds delightfully gourmet and what a trooper the 7yo Grandson is! I must get the name of that artisan baker at Summer Hill, I love bread and I love garlic, an artisan version of the 2 together sounds like heaven.

Family caring can do a lot to relieve pain: it's an application of a special kind of warmth. Hope the bad spell is waning, maybe with the help of something special from the doc.

to all who are ill, under the weather and recovering.
Evangeline - well done with the damper - making mess with the kids is always good value.

Good news Mr Curly, hope you're enjoying being home and taking time to recover.
Loth, hope the Dr's visit provides some answers or at least some relief.
I'm probably behind the 8-ball here but I found this, slightly old now, article from Rob. Forsyth and thought it might resonate with some of the non-Sydney Sydney Anglicans around here. I think he must have dreamed this up whilst visiting all those "Sunday meetings"-perhaps there's hope for the diocese yet if this can be published on the official website, espec. the bit about the theology of the songs.

Evangeline, he forgot to add the 'no pressure' offertory, where you are told you are under no obligation to give, but then happy music is played and people are encouraged to joyfully come out and put money in the plate or bag. As the entire church files up row by row to do this, you suddenly realize the 'no pressure' clause is a complete lie.
But yes. Sadly, I do recognize that service outline!

Back from doc. Heavy duty anti-inflammatories supplemented by Panadol Osteo and dire warnings about making sure I eat before taking them. No problems there. I know what happens if that warning is disregarded.
I complained about sinusitis pain and other nasty symptoms for that problem. Have had sinus problems all my life, lots of surgeries, and silver tubes inserted.
He was quite concerned. Antibiotics, a sample cortisone spray and a reference to have x-ray of area.
I've come home to have some lunch and drugs and will then go for x-ray which doesn't need appointment. Who knows how long I'll have to wait.

Thank you. Decided not to go this afternoon as I was convinced a delivery was due. Sure enough it did arrive, so that saves a trip to PO. Will go tomorrow morning.

Loth, hope the anti-biotics do their thing effectively.
My first day without rain for ages - I was beginning to wonder about developing webbed feet. The best things about being back home are Georgie-Porgy fat'n'fluffy, my bed and the daffodils. Also raising my spirits is the thought that soon there will be ducklings ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)
