A painful day

The pain did not arise from the fact that I have another birthday soon. Indeed the arrival of an early birthday present of lovely quality compost for the garden was very welcome.

There was a touch of sadness as the Lancaster family headed back home. The house seems much quieter as our dog sitting duties have ended. Our own dog seems more relaxed again.

However I had to visit the doctors as my left hip has been playing up increasingly to the point where I am hobbling at times. An X-ray has to be booked.

Then in the evening my troublesome tooth has flared up again with intensity. We were due to review it in the next week or so but I think an earlier inspection is now needed.

I am now waiting for the painkillers to kick in! They worked in the hip earlier when our son, with a bit of help from me, helped to shift the compost into the garden.

Hoping for an easier tomorrow.
