Flumpy has been searching for you lot everywhere! Not to worry Owl is on it now

I had a busy day yesterday, I’ve had to take over doing my parents garden as my dad had some how Badly twisted his knee, it’s very swollen but he’s got the sciatica on top of that, my arms are so sore today but it’s only muscle pain

Wiseowl shall we get back out there and search for Upsydaisy?, hope she’s ok

 

I'm just about here in the land of the living.....for now!!
I'm posting this quickly before the meds kick it and turn me to mush for a couple of hours. Back is now no problem but my dodgy leg is now giving me serious concerns. Will have to get further checks I think. My foot and a couple of my toes feel very weird...sort of numb and cold. The leg below my knee is also lacking full feeling and is rock hard and incredibly painful to touch. All sorts of things run through your mind, so will try to actually see a Dr some time soon, but don't hold out much hope as I've been trying to since last October. I have had blood clots in this leg and two ops in the lower leg for cancer...so I will have to lay my concerns on very thickly in the hope that I will get to see a real life Dr in person. My gut feeling is bursitis still or another clot.

Anyway everyone have a great day....think we are due intermittent rain today so it would be ideal if I manage to finish off the remaining plantings.

 

Awe Upsydaisy hope you get seen to very soon, I was wondering if it a trapped nerve but yes get it checked out, sending our big hugs your way

 

Good morning all, @Upsydaisy I hope you get your leg sorted out soon must be very painful.
Take care everyone, stay safe and well. God bless.

 

Hi @Flumpy and @moyra, thanks for you good wishes.
Oh how I wish it was a trapped nerve Flumpy, but sadly not, this is so very different. Had that many times , sciatica has become a norm for me, first had it when I was 15 and at Christmas too! Wish your Dad well.

 

You would like to think so @shiney , wouldn't you.
One time the Dr told me not to move when I went to see her and she left the room to phone the hospital. She came back saying they couldn't see me until the next day!!

The 2nd time back in 2017.. after seeing a consultant he then said I would need an ultrasound ( which I had the first time..on the same day). I had to wait 3mths!! Luckily it was found to be a superficial thrombosis and not a dvt.

I am just cross that I've had leg trouble for well over a year now and have yet to see an actual Dr in person!!!

I could cry my eyes out ( could!!! I do)....nobody is listening to me. I couldn't even get a Dr out to me last week when it all became scarily bad. They will chat on the phone and will give out steroid jabs but to actually get a consultation!!! All you get is the triage nurse and she prescribes the drugs!!

I did demand an appointment with my own GP back in February after another Dr forgot to request my x- rays....until I had to remind him two and half months later!!
Anyway still couldn't actually see my GP to show her my leg , only a phone call app. She booked a hip x-ray, as she thought my problem could stem from there. She said she would get back to me and whatever the results she promised she would get to the cause.
Well that was Feb....still haven't heard, I half expected a call from her after the episode on Wednesday...but nope.

I will phone again tomorrow morning.....

 

so sorry to hear that Upsydaisy, I know my dad has had to shout on the phone loads of times to get things moving, it’s as if your just a number sadly , give them some stick Upsydaisy tomorrow and keep at them until they do something I’ll be thinking of you

 

here’s our new plant pot, since moving here, our old plants are thriving, must be the fresh country air

 

Oh, that is beautiful! How big is it? Looks mighty!
