    Morning guys :j :j

    Can't remember now if I told you last night, but Mr 3Dogs tripped over a chair when getting up at slimming class and fell in a heap. I thought the worst, with his sciatica, but he got up laughing saying that the fall had frred the nerve and the pain was gone :eek: He was walking fine after that, had a good night and is ok this morning other than a slight pain in his leg, so it does look like the fall released the trapped nerve somehow :D The doc did say that it comes on very suddenly and can go just as suddenly, so it seems he was right :j Had a message from local hospital to contact them regarding physio, so going to ring them later to make his appointment as still want them to have a look at it and give him some exercises to keep it away and advice what to do if it comes back

    Great news for Mr 3dogs :j:j Now you know what to do if it returns ;)
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    I don't recall him ever gambling in his life, however he was 57 when I was born so he could have been in previous years, we all used to gamble once a year on the Grand National but my mum took care of the actual betting.....

    This jogged my memory, I was in Boots C/Point on Saturday and SA said she thought 75% sale would start on 20th but they only let staff know 1 day before. HTH

    Thanks bob, was there much left? Personally I can't see it starting on a friday but you never know. Hope not 20th as mum has a hopspital appointment. I am surprised they have kept to a wednesday for last few years as it's not always been the case.

    See you all later, off out for a bit.
